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 (3.5", Dd)
A 3.5-inch double-density floppy disk is a magnetic storage medium used for data storage and transfer, characterized by its 3.5-inch physical size and double-density recording capacity.
History/Origin
Introduced in the late 1980s, the 3.5-inch double-density floppy disk became a popular data storage medium due to its compact size and improved capacity over earlier floppy disks. It was widely used throughout the 1990s and early 2000s before being phased out by more advanced storage technologies.
Current Use
Today, the 3.5-inch double-density floppy disk is largely obsolete, with minimal use primarily in legacy systems, data recovery, or nostalgic collections. Modern data storage relies on USB drives, external hard drives, and cloud storage solutions.
