Petabyte (10^15 Bytes)
A petabyte (PB) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^15 bytes or 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes.
History/Origin
The petabyte was introduced as part of the binary and decimal prefixes for large data storage units, gaining prominence with the growth of big data and large-scale data centers in the early 21st century.
Current Use
Petabytes are used to measure large-scale data storage capacities in data centers, cloud storage services, and enterprise data management systems.
Gigabit
A gigabit (Gb) is a unit of digital information equal to one billion bits, commonly used to measure data transfer rates and storage capacity.
History/Origin
The gigabit originated as part of the metric system for digital information, gaining prominence with the rise of high-speed internet and large data storage systems in the late 20th century.
Current Use
Gigabits are widely used today to specify internet connection speeds, network bandwidth, and data transfer rates in various digital devices and services.
