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.
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.
