A block is a unit of data storage equal to 512 bytes. Historically, it is the smallest addressable unit of information on a disk. By default, all memory information is displayed in blocks rather than bytes. Some commands like SHOW DEVICES offer BLOCKS and BYTES as the option of the /UNIT qualifier; you can also set your process preference with SET PROCESS/UNITS.
