About Kilobytes
A kilobyte (KB) = 1,000 bytes (SI). Used by all storage manufacturers (HDD, SSD, USB, SD) and endorsed by the IEC and FTC. Typical sizes: plain-text email 2-5 KB; HTML page 10-100 KB; Word document 10-30 KB. Ethernet MTU = 1,500 bytes ≈ 1.5 KB; jumbo frames 9 KB. MP3 at 128 kbit/s = 16 KB/s of audio. 1 KB = 1,000 bytes = 8,000 bits.
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.
