Kilobyte (10^3 Bytes)
A kilobyte (KB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 bytes, based on the decimal system.
History/Origin
The term 'kilobyte' originated in the early days of computing to represent 1,000 bytes, aligning with the SI prefix 'kilo'. Over time, it has also been used to denote 1,024 bytes in some contexts, especially in computer memory, leading to some ambiguity.
Current Use
Today, 'kilobyte' typically refers to 1,000 bytes in data storage and transfer contexts, following the decimal system. However, in computer memory, it is often used to mean 1,024 bytes, reflecting the binary system.
Exabyte (10^18 Bytes)
An exabyte (EB) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^18 bytes.
History/Origin
The exabyte was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to represent extremely large data quantities, becoming more relevant with the growth of big data and data centers in the early 21st century.
Current Use
Exabytes are used to quantify large-scale data storage capacities, such as global internet data traffic, data centers, and cloud storage infrastructures.
