Bit/byte context somewhat what historically linked to minimum unit for given medium.[0] ISPs generally deal with sending/delivering 'raw' data as bits with no symbolism. vs. networking gear deals with subgroups bits in 'ascii/utf-8 byte sizes' within network data protocol. historically, electrical waves vs. what symbols electrical waves represent.
From TrueNAS/harddrive perspective, bits physical medium, bytes 'data as used by end user'

- WarOnPrivacy 1y ago> From TrueNAS/harddrive perspective, bits physical medium, bytes 'data as used by end user Appreciate the response. Not sure I follow this last bit. My Q is about the inconsistency of how network data is measured. TrueNAS measures it's network thruput in bytes. Users have asked for a toggle but he devs are resistant. I was hoping to learn why they really want bytes.
- sargstuff 1y agoMinimum standard of measurement of buffer size handled by electronics. Simplified, non-technical: Adding 'bits' would just indicate how many bytes / 8 + bits in last byte of data transferred. Last byte in transfer message would still be processed as a full byte by electronics, even if less than 8 bits. So, no total through put change. aka from electonic path through put standpoint, 33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40 bits is same as a 5 bytes.
