Question 1

What is a nibble?

Accepted Answer

A nibble is 4 bits, or half a byte. It can represent 16 values (0-15 or one hex digit).

Question 2

When are nibbles used?

Accepted Answer

In hexadecimal representation. Each hex digit corresponds to one nibble.

Question 3

Why is my storage smaller than advertised?

Accepted Answer

Manufacturers use decimal (1 GB = 1 billion bytes). Operating systems often use binary (1 GB = 1.07 billion bytes). This ~7% difference explains 'missing' space.

Question 4

What's the difference between bits and bytes?

Accepted Answer

1 byte = 8 bits. Storage is measured in bytes (GB, TB). Network speeds are usually in bits (Mbps, Gbps). Divide Mbps by 8 to get MBps.
