Dvd (2 Layer, 1 Side)
A DVD (2 layer, 1 side) is a digital optical disc storage format capable of storing approximately 8.5 GB of data, utilizing two layers on a single side for increased capacity.
History/Origin
The DVD format was developed in the late 1990s as a successor to the CD, introduced to provide higher storage capacity for video, data, and software. The 2-layer, 1-side configuration became popular for offering larger storage while maintaining compatibility with existing DVD players.
Current Use
Today, 2-layer, 1-side DVDs are used for storing and distributing high-definition video content, large software applications, backups, and archival data, although their usage has declined with the rise of digital downloads and cloud storage.
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.
