Detailed explanation-1: -The term gigabyte is typically used to describe the amount of stored data or the capacity of a storage device. For example, an HDD might offer 500 GB of raw capacity but is currently storing only 200 GB of data.
Detailed explanation-2: -Storage capacity refers to how much disk space one or more storage devices provides. It measures how much data a computer system may contain. For an example, a computer with a 500GB hard drive has a storage capacity of 500 gigabytes. A network server with four 1TB drives, has a storage capacity of 4 terabytes.
Detailed explanation-3: -What storage device has the largest capacity? For most computers, the storage device capable of holding the most amount of data is the hard drive or SSD. However, networked computers may also access storage with large tape drives, cloud computing, or NAS devices.
Detailed explanation-4: -The term data capacity refers to the amount of data (information) that can be stored in a tag. Increased data capacity increases the usefulness of the tag and its cost.
