The byte (/ˈbaɪt/) is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits.
The petabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. The prefix peta indicates the fifth power of 1000 and means 1015 in the International System of Units (SI), and therefore 1 petabyte is one quadrillion (short scale) bytes, or 1 billiard (long scale) bytes or 1000 terabyte, or 1 000 000 gigabytes . The unit symbol for the petabyte is PB.
