How Long Does it Take to Import a 540 MB PST File?
Some Definitions A PST (Personal STore) file is a Microsoft Outlook file that holds email, contacts and other personal data. In computer parlance, a “bit” is the smallest unit of information. It represents a switch being in either the on or off position, except that the “switch” in this case is so incredibly small that eight billion of them reside on a 1-gigabyte hard drive. Bits are abbreviated with a lower-case “b.” A “byte” is eight bits, and it requires one byte of information to store (or download) one character (letter, numeral, or symbol). Bytes are abbreviated with a capital “B.” The prefix “kilo” means a thousand, and is abbreviated “K.” “Mega” (“M”) means a million and “giga” (“G”) is a billion. File sizes are usually measured in kilobytes (KB) or megabytes (MB), which would be 1000 bytes or 1,000,000 bytes, respectively. To confuse the issue somewhat, data transfer speeds are usually stated in kilobits per second (Kbps) or megabits per second (Mbps). Transfer Speeds Any disc
