Kilobyte (10^3 Bytes)
A kilobyte (KB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 bytes, based on the decimal system.
History/Origin
The term 'kilobyte' originated in the early days of computing to represent 1,000 bytes, aligning with the SI prefix 'kilo'. Over time, it has also been used to denote 1,024 bytes in some contexts, especially in computer memory, leading to some ambiguity.
Current Use
Today, 'kilobyte' typically refers to 1,000 bytes in data storage and transfer contexts, following the decimal system. However, in computer memory, it is often used to mean 1,024 bytes, reflecting the binary system.
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.
