About Exabytes
An exabyte (EB) = 10¹⁸ bytes (SI). Global datasphere ≈ 120 EB/year created in 2023, growing ≈ 23%/year. Total installed global storage capacity ≈ 10,000 EB in 2023. AWS total storage estimated > 1,000 EB. Internet Archive stores ≈ 90 PB ≈ 0.09 EB. WGS of all 8 billion humans at 30× would produce ≈ 720 EB of raw FASTQ. Credible NSA Utah Data Centre estimates: 3-100 EB. 1 EB = 10¹⁸ bytes = 1,000 PB.
About Nibbles
A nibble is exactly 4 bits = half a byte, representing 2⁴ = 16 values - one hexadecimal digit (0-F). Used in BCD encoding (each decimal digit = 1 nibble; 2 nibbles per byte packs two BCD digits), financial/mainframe packed-decimal formats, and CSS hex colours (#RRGGBB = 2 nibbles per channel). 4-bit processors (Intel 4004, TI TMS1000) processed one nibble per cycle. 1 nibble = 4 bits = 0.5 bytes.
