About the megabyte

The megabyte became common in the 1980s with personal computers. A 1.44 MB floppy disk was a standard storage medium for over a decade.

In everyday use the megabyte appears in photo files, short audio clips, software downloads, and document sizes. As a point of reference: a high-quality JPEG photo is about 3 to 5 megabytes.
