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.
