Convert DVD (2 layer, 1 side) (DVD (2L, 1S)) to Exabyte (EB) instantly.
About these units
DVD (2 layer, 1 side) (DVD (2L, 1S))
A dual-layer, single-sided DVD stores 8.5 GB using a semi-transparent layer that allows the laser to focus at two depths. This innovation enabled longer movies, higher-quality video, and special editions packed with supplemental content. Dual-layer DVDs became standard for commercial video distribution and professional data storage. Although burning DL DVDs at home was initially slow and expensive, they played a crucial role during the transition to higher-capacity optical storage.
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.
