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.
Petabit
A petabit (Pb) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^15 bits or 1,000,000,000,000,000 bits.
History/Origin
The petabit was introduced as part of the binary and decimal prefixes for large data quantities, reflecting the increasing need for larger units in data storage and transfer, especially during the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Current Use
Petabits are primarily used in the context of large-scale data storage, data transfer rates, and network bandwidth measurements, particularly in data centers, internet infrastructure, and high-capacity storage systems.
