Petabyte
A petabyte (PB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 terabytes or 1,000,000 gigabytes, used to measure large data storage capacities.
History/Origin
The petabyte was introduced as data storage capacities grew beyond terabytes, becoming more common with the expansion of data centers and large-scale storage systems in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Current Use
Petabytes are used to quantify data in large-scale data centers, cloud storage services, and enterprise data management, reflecting the massive scale of modern digital data.
Kilobit
A kilobit (kb) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 bits.
History/Origin
The term 'kilobit' originated with the adoption of the decimal system in data measurement, aligning with the SI prefix 'kilo' meaning 1,000. It has been used since the early days of digital data measurement to quantify data transfer rates and storage sizes.
Current Use
Kilobits are commonly used to measure data transfer speeds, such as internet connection speeds (e.g., 100 kbps), and to specify data sizes in networking and telecommunications contexts.
