Megabyte (10^6 Bytes)
A megabyte (MB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000,000 bytes (10^6 bytes).
History/Origin
The term 'megabyte' was introduced in the 1960s with the advent of computer storage, initially representing 1,048,576 bytes (2^20), but the decimal definition of 1,000,000 bytes became common in the context of data storage and marketing.
Current Use
Today, the megabyte is used to measure data size in contexts such as file sizes, storage capacities, and data transfer rates, with the decimal definition (10^6 bytes) being standard in most commercial and marketing applications.
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.
