Detailed explanation-2: -A gigabyte (GB or GByte) is a data measurement unit for digital computer or media storage equal to one billion (1, 000, 000, 000) bytes or one thousand (1, 000) megabytes (MB). The unit of measurement in storage capacity that follows it is the terabyte (TB), which equals 1, 000 GB.

Detailed explanation-3: -Data storage capacities are measured in bytes, where each byte is actually a pattern of 8 bits. Each bit is represented by either a 1 or a 0 (on or off), also known as binary code. 1 byte can hold 1 character of data, e.g. “p” is 1 byte.
