Convert Gigabits to Exabytes
Convert Gigabits (Gbit) to Exabytes (EB) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
EB = Gbit × 1.250000000e-10
About Gigabits
A gigabit (Gbit) = 10⁹ bits (SI). 1 Gbit/s Ethernet (1000BASE-T) is the enterprise baseline; 10/25/100/400 Gbit/s are data-centre standards. Bus speeds: PCIe 4.0 ×16 = 256 Gbit/s; Thunderbolt 4 = 40 Gbit/s; HDMI 2.1 = 48 Gbit/s. NVMe SSDs: PCIe 4 ≈ 57 Gbit/s; PCIe 5 > 112 Gbit/s. Submarine cables: 200 Gbit/s per wavelength × hundreds of wavelengths. 1 Gbit = 10⁹ bits = 125 MB.
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.
