  3. Storage Next • What isstorage? • Holds data, instructions, and information for future use • Storage mediumis physical material used for storage • Also called secondary storage p. 220 Fig. 6-1

  4. Storage Kilobyte (KB) 1 thousand Megabyte (MB) 1 million Gigabyte (GB) 1 billion Terabyte (TB) 1 trillion Petabyte (PB) 1 quadrillion Exabyte (EB) 1 quintillion Zettabyte (ZB) 1 sextillion Yottabyte (YB) 1 septillion Next • What iscapacity? • Number of bytes (characters) a storage medium can hold p. 222
