What is a block in data storage?

A block is a basic unit used by file systems and storage devices for allocating and transferring data, typically consisting of a group of contiguous disk sectors with a size defined by the system.

Is Zip 100 a standard unit of data?

No, Zip 100 is an informal or product-related label often associated with ZIP archives and does not have a formal measurement standard.

Why do block sizes vary?

Block sizes depend on the specific implementation of storage devices and file systems, which affects how data is addressed and processed.
