Detailed explanation-1: -A gigabyte is a specific unit of data that’s equal to about 1 billion bytes of data. 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: -Hard drives come in two basic physical sizes: 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch. These sizes refer to the size of the data platters, not the size of the hard drive mechanism. Traditionally, 2.5-inch drives are used for laptops while 3.5-inch drives are used for desktop computers.
Detailed explanation-3: -The capacity of a hard drive is usually measured in gigabytes (GB), however hard disk capacity can also be measured in terabytes when the capacity is over 1000 or 1024 gigabytes. A gigabyte is one thousand megabytes and a megabyte is one million bytes, which means that a gigabyte is one billion bytes.
