Convert bit to block (data storage)
Bit
A bit (binary digit) is the most basic unit of digital information, representing a logical state with one of two possible values: 0 or 1. The term was coined by statistician John Tukey in 1946 and popularized by Claude Shannon in his foundational work on information theory. Eight bits form one byte, the standard unit of computer storage.
Block (Data Storage)
A block is a unit of data storage conventionally equal to 512 bytes, representing the minimum unit of data that a disk drive reads or writes in a single operation. The 512-byte block size originated with early hard disk and floppy disk architectures and remains a standard reference unit in storage conversion. Modern drives often use 4096-byte (4K) physical sectors, though 512-byte logical blocks are still widely emulated.
