The petabit is a multiple of the unit bit for digital information or computer storage. The prefix peta (symbol P) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 1015 (1 quadrillion, short scale), and therefore 1 petabit = 1015 bits = 1 000 000 000 000 000 bits = 1000 terabits. The petabit has the unit symbol Pbit or Pb.
The exbibyte 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). Its unit symbol is EiB.
The prefix exbi (symbol Ei) represents multiplication by 260, therefore: 1 exbibyte = 260 bytes = 1 152 921 504 606 846 976 bytes = 1024 pebibytes.
