About Megabytes
A megabyte (MB) = 1,000,000 bytes (SI). Used by all storage manufacturers and by macOS (since 10.6), iOS, and Android. Typical file sizes: JPEG photo (50 MP) = 8-20 MB; 3-min MP3 at 128 kbit/s ≈ 2.9 MB; Android productivity APK 10-150 MB; full-frame RAW photo (Sony A7R V, 61 MP) 60-120 MB. H.264/H.265 achieves 30-100× compression vs. raw video. 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes = 1,000 KB.
About Petabytes
A petabyte (PB) = 10¹⁵ bytes (SI). Major platforms operate at PB scale: Meta ingests > 4 PB/day; YouTube adds several PB of video content daily. CERN Run 3 produced ≈ 90 PB in 2022. 1,000-genome cohort (WGS at 30×) ≈ 0.4 PB. English Wikipedia with media ≈ 10 PB. A rack of Blu-ray cold storage (Facebook Project Amber) holds 1 PB. 1 PB = 10¹⁵ bytes = 1,000 TB.
