About these units
CD (80 minute) (CD (80 min))
The 80-minute CD expanded storage to 700 MB, offering a modest but meaningful increase over the 74-minute version. This capacity became the industry standard for audio production, software, and media distribution. The slightly denser data-spacing required careful calibration but proved reliable for most computer and consumer hardware. For many users, CD-R and CD-RW discs became a primary means of personal backups, music burning, and long-term storage before USB drives became widespread.
Exabyte (EB)
A binary exabyte equals 2⁶⁰ bytes, or 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes, representing an astronomical amount of data. Large cloud platforms, scientific institutions, and governments manage exabytes of archival data, including climate models, particle physics data, telescope surveys, and global internet archives. Working at the exabyte scale requires new paradigms in distributed storage, parallel computing, data replication, and large-scale analytics. Few organizations truly operate at exabyte scale, but this threshold represents the future of global data infrastructure.
