The gigabyte (/ˈɡɪɡəbaɪt/ GIG-ə-byt or /ˈdʒɪɡəbaɪt/) is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. The prefix giga means 109 in the International System of Units (SI). Therefore, one gigabyte is 1 000 000 000 bytes. The unit symbol for the gigabyte is GB.
The pebibyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. It is a member of the set of units with binary prefixes defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).[1] Its unit symbol is PiB.
The prefix pebi (symbol Pi) represents multiplication by 10245, therefore: 1 pebibyte = 250 bytes = 1 125 899 906 842 624 bytes = 1024 tebibytes.
