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.
Megabyte (10^6 Bytes)
A megabyte (MB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000,000 bytes (10^6 bytes).
History/Origin
The term 'megabyte' was introduced in the 1960s with the advent of computer storage, initially representing 1,048,576 bytes (2^20), but the decimal definition of 1,000,000 bytes became common in the context of data storage and marketing.
Current Use
Today, the megabyte is used to measure data size in contexts such as file sizes, storage capacities, and data transfer rates, with the decimal definition (10^6 bytes) being standard in most commercial and marketing applications.
