Which of the following has the maximum data storage capacity ?

  • A.\(10^{10}\) Kilobyte Hard Disk
  • B.\(10^{8}\) Megabyte Hard Disk
  • C.\(10^{4}\) Gigabyte Hard Disk
  • D.10 Terabyte Hard Disk

Answer: B

The largest capacity is the \(10^{8}\) Megabyte hard disk.

Convert all four to bytes, using decimal prefixes (1 KB = \(10^{3}\) bytes, 1 MB = \(10^{6}\), 1 GB = \(10^{9}\), 1 TB = \(10^{12}\)):

\[ \begin{aligned} 10^{10}\ \text{KB} &= 10^{13}\ \text{bytes} \\ 10^{8}\ \text{MB} &= 10^{14}\ \text{bytes} \\ 10^{4}\ \text{GB} &= 10^{13}\ \text{bytes} \\ 10\ \text{TB} &= 10^{13}\ \text{bytes} \end{aligned} \]

Three of the disks hold 10 TB each, while \(10^{8}\) MB is 100 TB, ten times as much.
