Megabyte
A megabyte (MB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,048,576 bytes or 10^6 bytes in decimal notation, commonly used to measure data storage capacity.
History/Origin
The term 'megabyte' originated in the 1960s with the advent of computer storage and data measurement. Initially, it was based on powers of two (1,048,576 bytes), but in the late 20th century, it also came to be used in decimal form (1,000,000 bytes) for marketing storage devices.
Current Use
Today, megabytes are used to quantify data sizes in computing, such as file sizes, storage capacities, and data transfer rates. The binary definition (1,048,576 bytes) is often used in computing contexts, while the decimal definition (1,000,000 bytes) is common in marketing and consumer electronics.
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.
