Byte
A Byte is a section of computer data, which is basically the smallest unit of measure in data storage terms. A byte consists of 8 bits (a bit is a 1 or a 0, binary data), so, for example, 2 bytes actually can contain up to 16 bits. Many data storage devices sometimes store data incompletely in a byte, (for example, they store 14 bits in a 2 byte range), which after some time can lead to fragmentation, or empty gaps between the bytes. All data devices, such as floppies, hard drives, CD’s and DVD’s all record data in terms of bytes.
