Are you forgetting the nibble? (half-byte)
- joshAg 15y agono, i just couldn't think of a relevant use for it, aside from making it easier to talk about hex. not to mention, it's even less of a standard for measuring things than -bi prefixes.
- weaksauce 15y agoI agree that it's not super useful when comparing storage systems. Though, in debugging a nibble is one hex digit of a byte which is useful. It's also the next largest cs unit. If you would have said the next largest commonly used unit to measure storage it would have been fairly clear. I just wanted to educate the younger readers(probably not you) about another way to look at bytes and bits. Cheers.
