About Gigabytes
A gigabyte (GB) = 10⁹ bytes (SI). All consumer HDDs, SSDs, SD cards, USB drives, and smartphones advertise in GB. Media sizes: 4K Blu-ray 66-100 GB; 4K Netflix film 10-15 GB; modern AAA PC game 50-200 GB; Google Maps offline country data 5-30 GB. The IBM 350 RAMAC (1956) stored 0.00000375 GB; a Seagate Exos 20 TB holds 20,000 GB - 5.3-million-fold increase in 66 years. 1 GB = 10⁹ bytes = 1,000 MB.
About Exabits
An exabit (Ebit) = 10¹⁸ bits (SI). Global IP traffic ≈ 4.8 exabytes/month in 2022 = ≈38.4 Ebit/month. Netflix at peak consumes ≈15% of North American bandwidth, accumulating Ebits/year. All installed cross-Atlantic cable capacity ≈ 2,000 Tbit/s in 2024; 1 Ebit transits in ≈ 500 s at full utilisation. The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will generate ≈ 7,200 Ebit/year of reduced data. 1 Ebit = 10¹⁸ bits = 125 PB.
