Gigabyte
A gigabyte (GB) is a unit of digital information equal to one billion bytes, commonly used to measure data storage capacity.
History/Origin
The gigabyte was introduced in the 1970s as part of the binary prefix system, initially representing 2^30 bytes (1,073,741,824 bytes). Over time, it has also been used to denote decimal gigabytes of 10^9 bytes, especially in marketing storage devices.
Current Use
Gigabytes are widely used today to quantify storage capacity of computers, smartphones, and other digital devices, as well as data transfer limits and file sizes in various applications.
Exabit
An exabit (Eb) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^18 bits or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bits.
History/Origin
The exabit was introduced as part of the binary prefix system to represent large data quantities, aligning with the International System of Units (SI) prefixes, and gained recognition with the increasing need for measuring massive data storage and transfer capacities in the digital age.
Current Use
Exabits are primarily used in contexts involving extremely large data storage capacities, high-speed data transfer rates, and global data infrastructure metrics, especially in data centers, cloud storage, and internet backbone measurements.
