Cd (80 Minute)
The CD (80 minute) or cd-80 is a unit of data storage representing the capacity of a standard 80-minute compact disc, typically equivalent to approximately 700 megabytes.
History/Origin
The cd-80 unit originated with the standard CD-ROM format in the late 1980s and early 1990s, which commonly stored around 700 MB of data, corresponding to an 80-minute audio CD. It became a standard measure for optical disc storage capacity during the era of CD technology.
Current Use
Today, the cd-80 unit is largely obsolete as data storage has shifted to digital and cloud-based solutions. However, it is still used in historical contexts or for referencing optical disc capacities in legacy systems and media collections.
Exabit
An exabit (Eb) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^18 bits or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bits.
History/Origin
The exabit was introduced as part of the binary prefix system to represent large data quantities, aligning with the International System of Units (SI) prefixes, and gained recognition with the increasing need for measuring massive data storage and transfer capacities in the digital age.
Current Use
Exabits are primarily used in contexts involving extremely large data storage capacities, high-speed data transfer rates, and global data infrastructure metrics, especially in data centers, cloud storage, and internet backbone measurements.
