Dvd (2 Layer, 2 Side)
A DVD (2 layer, 2 side) is a digital optical disc storage format capable of storing approximately 8.5 GB of data, with two layers on each side for increased capacity.
History/Origin
The DVD format was developed in the mid-1990s as a successor to the CD, introducing higher storage capacity and improved data transfer rates. The 2-layer, 2-side version was introduced to further enhance storage capabilities, becoming widely adopted in the early 2000s for data storage and multimedia applications.
Current Use
Today, DVDs are primarily used for media playback, data archiving, and distribution of movies and software, although their usage has declined with the rise of digital downloads and streaming services.
Terabyte (10^12 Bytes)
A terabyte (TB) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^12 bytes, commonly used to measure data storage capacity.
History/Origin
The term 'terabyte' was introduced in the 1990s as storage capacities increased, following the adoption of the binary prefix 'tera' from the metric system, though it is often used in decimal form for storage devices.
Current Use
Terabytes are widely used today to quantify data storage in hard drives, solid-state drives, data centers, and cloud storage services, reflecting large-scale data capacities.
