You could do better with less actually, but that appears to be a dying art

they stored "words" rather than bytes and kilobytes.

And each word is a number of bits, therefore a byte is just an eight bit word (although no one says that anymore)

But yes AmigaDOS 1.3 was very impressive for 1985-1987.

Not to me, I only see tremendous room for improvement on the same specs.
