Bit/byte context somewhat what historically linked to minimum unit for given medium.[0] ISPs generally deal with sending/delivering 'raw' data as bits with no symbolism. vs. networking gear deals with subgroups bits in 'ascii/utf-8 byte sizes' within network data protocol. historically, electrical waves vs. what symbols electrical waves represent.
From TrueNAS/harddrive perspective, bits physical medium, bytes 'data as used by end user'
