Small storage unit

BYTE

Not available

A "byte" is a fundamental unit of digital data storage, typically made up of 8 bits, which fits the idea of a "small storage unit." The clue plays on the double meaning of "small"—both in physical size (like a tiny container) and in computing terms (a basic data block). It’s a straightforward definition without hidden wordplay, relying on the solver’s basic tech knowledge. Think of it like a digital "box" holding a tiny piece of information.
