Terabit
A terabit (Tb) is a unit of digital information equal to one trillion bits (10^12 bits).
History/Origin
The term 'terabit' was introduced as digital storage and data transfer rates increased, following the adoption of the metric system for data units. It became common in networking and high-capacity storage contexts during the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Current Use
Terabits are used to measure data transfer speeds in high-speed networks, internet bandwidth, and large-scale data storage systems, especially in contexts requiring rapid data transmission and large capacity assessments.
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.
