Gigabyte (10^9 Bytes)
A gigabyte (GB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes (10^9 bytes).
History/Origin
The gigabyte was introduced as part of the decimal system of data measurement, aligning with SI prefixes, to standardize data sizes. It became widely adopted with the rise of digital storage devices in the late 20th century.
Current Use
Gigabytes are commonly used to measure data storage capacity in computers, smartphones, and other digital devices, as well as data transfer rates and file sizes in various applications.
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.
