Terabyte
A terabyte (TB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 gigabytes or 1,000,000 megabytes, commonly used to measure data storage capacity.
History/Origin
The term 'terabyte' was introduced in the 1980s as storage capacities increased, with early uses in computer science and data storage industries. It became more widespread with the advent of large-scale data storage solutions and advancements in digital technology.
Current Use
Today, terabytes are widely used to quantify storage capacity in hard drives, solid-state drives, data centers, and cloud storage services, reflecting the growing need for large data handling in personal and enterprise computing.
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.
