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 (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.
