Apple File System

Apple File System (APFS) is a proprietary file system developed and deployed by Apple Inc. for macOS Sierra (10.12.4) and later, iOS 10.3, tvOS 10.2, watchOS 3.2, and all versions of iPadOS.

See File size and Apple File System

Binary prefix

A binary prefix is a unit prefix that indicates a multiple of a unit of measurement by an integer power of two.

See File size and Binary prefix

Bit

The bit is the most basic unit of information in computing and digital communication.

See File size and Bit

In computing (specifically data transmission and data storage), a block, sometimes called a physical record, is a sequence of bytes or bits, usually containing some whole number of records, having a maximum length; a block size.

See File size and Block (data storage)

Btrfs

Btrfs (pronounced as "better F S", "butter F S", "b-tree F S", or B.T.R.F.S.) is a computer storage format that combines a file system based on the copy-on-write (COW) principle with a logical volume manager (not to be confused with Linux's LVM), developed together.

See File size and Btrfs

Byte

The byte is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits.

See File size and Byte

Computer data storage

Computer data storage or digital data storage is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media that are used to retain digital data.

See File size and Computer data storage

Computer file

In computing, a computer file is a resource for recording data on a computer storage device, primarily identified by its filename. File size and computer file are computer files.

See File size and Computer file

Data (computer science)

In computer science, data (treated as singular, plural, or as a mass noun) is any sequence of one or more symbols; datum is a single symbol of data.

Disk sector

In computer disk storage, a sector is a subdivision of a track on a magnetic disk or optical disc.

See File size and Disk sector

ExFAT

exFAT (Extensible File Allocation Table) is a file system introduced by Microsoft in 2006 and optimized for flash memory such as USB flash drives and SD cards.

See File size and ExFAT

File Allocation Table

File Allocation Table (FAT) is a file system developed for personal computers and was the default filesystem for MS-DOS and Windows 9x operating systems.

See File size and File Allocation Table

File system

In computing, a file system or filesystem (often abbreviated to FS or fs) governs file organization and access.

See File size and File system

Gigabyte

The gigabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information.

See File size and Gigabyte

HFS Plus

HFS Plus or HFS+ (also known as Mac OS Extended or HFS Extended) is a journaling file system developed by Apple Inc. It replaced the Hierarchical File System (HFS) as the primary file system of Apple computers with the 1998 release of Mac OS 8.1.

See File size and HFS Plus

Hierarchical File System (Apple)

Hierarchical File System (HFS) is a proprietary file system developed by Apple Inc. for use in computer systems running Mac OS.

See File size and Hierarchical File System (Apple)

High Performance File System

HPFS (High Performance File System) is a file system created specifically for the OS/2 operating system to improve upon the limitations of the FAT file system.

See File size and High Performance File System

Kilobyte

The kilobyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information.

See File size and Kilobyte

Large-file support

Large-file support (LFS) is the term frequently applied to the ability to create files larger than either 2 or 4 GiB on 32-bit filesystems.

See File size and Large-file support

Megabyte

The megabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information.

See File size and Megabyte

Metric prefix

A metric prefix is a unit prefix that precedes a basic unit of measure to indicate a multiple or submultiple of the unit.

See File size and Metric prefix

Microsoft

Microsoft Corporation is an American multinational corporation and technology company headquartered in Redmond, Washington.

See File size and Microsoft

NTFS

New Technology File System (NTFS) is a proprietary journaling file system developed by Microsoft.

See File size and NTFS

Unit of measurement

A unit of measurement, or unit of measure, is a definite magnitude of a quantity, defined and adopted by convention or by law, that is used as a standard for measurement of the same kind of quantity.

See File size and Unit of measurement

Units of information

In digital computing and telecommunications, a unit of information is the capacity of some standard data storage system or communication channel, used to measure the capacities of other systems and channels.

See File size and Units of information

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi is a family of wireless network protocols based on the IEEE 802.11 family of standards, which are commonly used for local area networking of devices and Internet access, allowing nearby digital devices to exchange data by radio waves.
