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.
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.
