About these units
DVD (1 layer, 1 side) (DVD (1L, 1S))
A single-layer, single-sided DVD stores 4.7 GB, a massive leap from CD capacity. DVD technology enabled the transition from VHS tapes to digital video, offering superior clarity, durability, and bonus features. Beyond video, DVDs supported data archiving, software distribution, and game installation. The 4.7 GB DVD became a cornerstone of home entertainment, education, and computing, serving as a universal medium for nearly a decade before Blu-ray and online streaming began to replace physical media.
Exabyte (10^18 bytes) (EB (10^18))
A decimal exabyte equals exactly 1 quintillion bytes, and it is the standard for expressing large-scale cloud storage and global data production metrics. Industry analysts estimate that total global digital data now exceeds multiple decimal exabytes per year, driven by IoT devices, streaming services, AI workloads, and high-resolution media. The decimal exabyte serves as a measure of humanity's digital footprint, making it one of the most symbolic data units of the information age.
