About these units
Gigabyte (GB)
A gigabyte is 1,073,741,824 bytes (2³⁰) in binary notation, or 1,000,000,000 bytes in decimal form. Gigabytes serve as one of the most common units of modern computing: RAM capacities, smartphone storage, software downloads, and video file sizes frequently range from a few GB to dozens of gigabytes. The gigabyte era represented a massive shift in capability—allowing high-resolution multimedia, complex software, virtual machines, and databases to flourish. While once enormous, gigabytes are now considered routine, illustrating the exponential growth of digital 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.
