Storage device data for AI capacity-unit review
NIST explains binary prefixes used for information quantities.
NAICS 334112 · Computer Storage Device Manufacturing
NIST explains binary prefixes used for information quantities. A storage manufacturer can propose an original task that keeps a reported capacity, its unit convention and the device observation together. NIST binary-prefix context
Create fictional device labels, an observation log and a customer request. Supply explicit definitions for the exercise's decimal and binary units. Give one record a nominal product capacity and another a measured quantity with its own scope. Ask which values can be compared. Include an observation missing its unit convention and a similarly named device with a different identifier.
Annotate device, property, nominal or observed status, unit definition and source record. Evaluate with a new table layout and an explicitly defined conversion. Score unlike-unit comparisons, nominal values substituted for observations and wrong-device matching independently. The key should show the calculation from cited inputs and preserve missing unit context as unresolved.
Use self-authored documents and invented values. Actual customer contents, proprietary device information and diagnostic reports need appropriate permission. A licensing proposal should name the unit-and-evidence task and checked examples. Confirm the buyer's accepted material before preparing a larger manufacturing archive or authorized capture.

Original Fiund exercise
Capacity figures agree after using the stated base
A fictional storage label uses decimal units and an observation log uses bytes. It contains no actual device or user data.
| Record | Source | What it records |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Device card | Model S8 nominal 2 decimal GB. |
| 2 | Unit glossary | In this example one decimal GB equals 1,000,000,000 bytes. |
| 3 | Observation | S8 reports total 2,000,000,000 bytes, free 1,500,000,000 bytes. |
Question for the model
Which observed field can be compared with the nominal figure?
Show the reference answer and checks
Use total: 2,000,000,000 bytes equals 2 decimal GB under record 2 and agrees with record 1. Free space in record 3 is 1.5 decimal GB and answers a different question. The records provide no binary-unit figure unless explicitly converted.
- Comparing free space to nominal total
- Mixing decimal and binary units without conversion
Fields to preserve
- capacity_role
- Distinguishes total and free
- unit_base
- Defines the conversion factor
- device_id
- Associates observations with the label
Test another case
Label an observation in binary GiB and require explicit conversion rather than interpreting the number as decimal GB.
No actual storage devices, customer data, data recovery or performance claims.

Describe the sources you control, the task they could support and what has already been checked. Use the existing-data assessment for an archive or the collection brief for a new recording project. The contributor agreement defines Fiund’s licensing authority and compensation. A guide or fictional exercise does not establish an accepted collection or a sale.
