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 Exbibytes
An exbibyte (EiB) = 2⁶³ bytes ≈ 9.22 × 10¹⁸ bytes (IEC 80000-13). 2⁶³ is also the absolute value of INT64_MIN (the smallest signed 64-bit integer), making 1 EiB the natural upper limit for file systems using signed 64-bit byte offsets. File system theoretical maxima: NTFS 16 EiB; APFS 8 EiB; Btrfs 16 EiB; ZFS 256 quadrillion ZiB. Total hyperscale cloud storage estimated at 500-1,000 EiB as of 2024. 1 EiB = 2⁶⁰ bytes = 1,024 PiB.
