Definition
A computing term referring to the size of a data block, usually measured in bytes, used in file systems and storage devices.
Etymology
Abbreviation combining 'block' (from Old English, meaning a solid piece) and 'size' (from Old French 'assise'). This technical term emerged with computer science in the mid-20th century.
Kelly Says
Block size is a hidden but crucial factor in how fast your computer reads files—larger blocks mean fewer trips to the storage drive, which is why SSDs are so much faster than older hard drives using different block size strategies.
