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.
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.
