Gigabyte (10^9 Bytes)
A gigabyte (GB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes (10^9 bytes).
History/Origin
The gigabyte was introduced as part of the decimal system of data measurement, aligning with SI prefixes, to standardize data sizes. It became widely adopted with the rise of digital storage devices in the late 20th century.
Current Use
Gigabytes are commonly used to measure data storage capacity in computers, smartphones, and other digital devices, as well as data transfer rates and file sizes in various applications.
Petabyte
A petabyte (PB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 terabytes or 1,000,000 gigabytes, used to measure large data storage capacities.
History/Origin
The petabyte was introduced as data storage capacities grew beyond terabytes, becoming more common with the expansion of data centers and large-scale storage systems in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Current Use
Petabytes are used to quantify data in large-scale data centers, cloud storage services, and enterprise data management, reflecting the massive scale of modern digital data.
