Petabit
A petabit (Pb) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^15 bits or 1,000,000,000,000,000 bits.
History/Origin
The petabit was introduced as part of the binary and decimal prefixes for large data quantities, reflecting the increasing need for larger units in data storage and transfer, especially during the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Current Use
Petabits are primarily used in the context of large-scale data storage, data transfer rates, and network bandwidth measurements, particularly in data centers, internet infrastructure, and high-capacity storage systems.
Terabit
A terabit (Tb) is a unit of digital information equal to one trillion bits (10^12 bits).
History/Origin
The term 'terabit' was introduced as digital storage and data transfer rates increased, following the adoption of the metric system for data units. It became common in networking and high-capacity storage contexts during the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Current Use
Terabits are used to measure data transfer speeds in high-speed networks, internet bandwidth, and large-scale data storage systems, especially in contexts requiring rapid data transmission and large capacity assessments.
