About these units
Floppy Disk (5.25", HD) (floppy (5.25" HD))
The 5.25-inch HD floppy stored 1.2 MB and represented the final evolution of the large-format floppy. HD versions were common in late-1980s IBM business systems and were used to distribute larger software packages and operating systems. However, the rise of the more compact and durable 3.5" floppy soon overshadowed the HD 5.25" format. Their rapid decline highlights how the industry moved toward miniaturization and higher reliability in portable 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.
