About these units
DVD (1 layer, 2 side) (DVD (1L, 2S))
A single-layer, double-sided DVD offers 9.4 GB, with 4.7 GB per side, requiring the user to physically flip the disc. Double-sided DVDs were ideal in early DVD-era box sets and archival applications, but their inconvenience—no label side, no artwork, and manual flipping—limited consumer adoption. They represent a transitional form of optical media designed to increase capacity before dual-layer technologies became mainstream.
Kilobyte (kB)
A kilobyte traditionally represents 1,024 bytes (2¹⁰), reflecting binary-based memory design. Historically, operating systems, RAM modules, and floppy disks all used the binary kilobyte because memory addressing naturally aligned with powers of two. Kilobytes were once considered large: early computer programs and operating systems were measured in just a few kB. The first text-based adventure games fit entirely within 32 kB. Although kilobytes seem tiny today, they remain important for low-level embedded systems, boot loaders, configuration memory, and microcontrollers. The kilobyte is a reminder of computing's early constraints and the precision of binary address spaces.
