Megabit
A megabit (Mb) is a unit of digital information equal to one million bits, commonly used to measure data transfer speeds and network bandwidth.
History/Origin
The term 'megabit' emerged with the development of digital communication and data storage technologies in the late 20th century, becoming standard for describing internet speeds and data rates.
Current Use
Megabits are widely used today to specify internet connection speeds, network bandwidth, and data transfer rates in telecommunications and networking contexts.
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.
