What is a Jaz 1GB unit?

A Jaz 1GB is a removable magnetic disk cartridge with approximately 1 gigabyte of storage, used mainly in the 1990s for backups and data transport.

Why does character count vary when converting from Jaz 1GB?

Character count varies because text encoding affects how many bytes each character requires, with ASCII using one byte and Unicode potentially using multiple bytes.

Can this conversion be used for multimedia files?

No, this conversion is primarily intended for textual information and may not accurately represent storage needs for multimedia files.
