About these units
Jaz 1GB (Jaz 1GB)
Iomega's Jaz 1GB drive provided 1 gigabyte of removable storage, making it a high-end solution for professionals in multimedia, CAD, and video editing during the late 1990s. Unlike Zip disks, Jaz cartridges contained hard-disk platters, offering dramatically higher performance and capacity. Jaz drives were essential for users who needed to transport multi-hundred-megabyte project files—something impossible with floppies or Zip 100 disks. However, Jaz drives were expensive and prone to hardware failures, limiting their adoption. They represent early attempts to scale removable storage before the solid-state era.
Exabit (Eb)
An exabit is 10¹⁸ bits, used in ultra-large-scale networking, such as intercontinental fiber systems, data-center connectivity, and internet backbone capacity projections. Although no single consumer device operates at this scale, network engineers and futurists use exabit terminology to describe the explosive growth of global internet traffic. The exabit embodies the shift toward planetary-scale communication infrastructures, reflecting humanity's increasing dependence on rapid, high-bandwidth connectivity.
