Exabyte (10^18 Bytes)

An exabyte (EB) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^18 bytes.

History/Origin

The exabyte was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to represent extremely large data quantities, becoming more relevant with the growth of big data and data centers in the early 21st century.

Current Use

Exabytes are used to quantify large-scale data storage capacities, such as global internet data traffic, data centers, and cloud storage infrastructures.


Kilobyte

A kilobyte (kB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 bytes in the decimal system or 1,024 bytes in the binary system.

History/Origin

The term 'kilobyte' originated in the early days of computing to represent data sizes, initially based on the binary system (1024 bytes). Over time, especially with the adoption of the decimal system for storage devices, the definition has shifted to 1,000 bytes for certain contexts, leading to some ambiguity.

Current Use

Today, 'kilobyte' commonly refers to 1,000 bytes in storage device marketing and data transfer contexts, while in computing and programming, it often still denotes 1,024 bytes. The context usually clarifies the intended meaning.
