    Hey guys its me again.
    I was wondering if I could get some help on this topic; memory.
    I believe that this is an 8-bit memory storage device, is it or is it not.
    Im trying to make a 1 Megabyte USB (Is this to high for a first memory unit?)
    I Would like some feedback and tips.
    REMEMBER THIS IS NOT DONE
    Bit: A Bit is the smallest unit of data that a computer uses. It can be used to represent two states of information, such as Yes or No. ( I allready Knew That)

    Wazabi-Bros:

    · 1000 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte
    · 1000 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
    · 1000 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
    · 1000 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte


    Anyone else see the error here?

    Kilobytes and Megabytes are the wrong way around.

    Urhh... What?
    Wow, I'm amazed nobody has figured this yet (btw ads, you're wrong).

    Know your byte conversions.

    I'll tell you what's wrong:
    It's 1024 not 1000. -_-
    Where the hell did you copy that from?

    Hm, says either are acceptable. Oh well.

    "According to Eric S. Raymond in The New Hacker's Dictionary, a megabyte is always 1,048,576 bytes on the argument that bytes should naturally be computed in powers of two. So which definition do most people conform to?"
