Gigaquad

From Free net encyclopedia

A Gigaquad is a unit of data size on the science fiction show Star Trek.

The exact size of a Gigaquad has never been divulged on the show. A possible equivalent could be the designation Yottabyte.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Lifesigns", The Doctor states that his program consists of more than 50 million gigaquads of memory.

Another example is in another Star Trek: Voyager episode "Twisted" where Lt. B'Elanna Torres states that 20 million gigaquads of new information has been input into the ships computer.
