Storage capacity refers to the amount of data that can be saved on a storage device like a hard drive, USB stick, or memory card. It is measured in units such as bytes, kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), and terabytes (TB), with each unit being bigger than the last. Just like a backpack can hold only a certain amount of books, a storage device has a limit on how much information it can keep. Understanding storage capacity is important because it helps you choose the right device for saving your files, whether they are documents, photos, or videos.
