Sometimes, I want to quantify an adjective to make a statement more precise.

E.g.: This dataset is large, over 1 GB.

This dataset is large, over 1 GB.

Is that a correct use of a comma? I know I could use parentheses: This dataset is large (over 1 GB). But I prefer to avoid parentheses in some situations.
