About these units
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.
Gigabyte (10^9 bytes) (GB (10^9))
A decimal gigabyte is 1,000,000,000 bytes and is the standard unit for hard drive and SSD capacities. As storage technology scaled into the hundreds of gigabytes and then terabytes, the decimal definition became more practical, allowing consistent scaling across consumer and enterprise devices. However, operating systems often report capacities using binary units, causing user confusion (e.g., a "500 GB" drive showing only ~465 "GB"). This mismatch persists despite standardization efforts.
