Why does digital storage always have the same values eg. 32gb, 64gb, 128gb, 256gb etc. and why do they double every time they go up in size? Is this a limitation or just a standard?

Answer 1

And to answer the second part clearly, it is limitation. They have made computers with “fuzzy logic” that can have more than two values, but it’s really hard to communicate more than on/off signals between computers or to write on a disk accurately. So binary is the language of choice.
