About these units
The bit (b) is a specialist or regional unit of data storage, equal to 0.125 bytes.
The nibble (nibble) is a specialist or regional unit of data storage, equal to 0.5 bytes.
Going the other way, 1 nibble = 4 bits. Storage has two competing definitions: drive makers count a gigabyte as 1,000,000,000 bytes, while operating systems often show gibibytes of 1,073,741,824 bytes. That 7% gap is why a '1 TB' drive shows up as 931 GB. Both families are included below so you can compare them directly.
