Petabyte (10^15 Bytes)
A petabyte (PB) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^15 bytes or 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes.
History/Origin
The petabyte was introduced as part of the binary and decimal prefixes for large data storage units, gaining prominence with the growth of big data and large-scale data centers in the early 21st century.
Current Use
Petabytes are used to measure large-scale data storage capacities in data centers, cloud storage services, and enterprise data management systems.
Floppy Disk (5.25", Dd)
A 5.25-inch double-density floppy disk is a magnetic storage medium used for data storage and transfer in computers, typically holding up to 1.2 MB of data.
History/Origin
Introduced in the late 1970s, the 5.25-inch floppy disk became widely popular in the 1980s as a portable storage medium before being phased out in favor of higher-capacity and more durable storage solutions in the 1990s.
Current Use
Today, the 5.25-inch floppy disk is obsolete, with minimal use primarily in archival or legacy systems; it is mostly of historical interest and collector's value.
