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 Zebibytes
A zebibyte (ZiB) = 2⁷³ bytes ≈ 9.44 × 10²¹ bytes (IEC 80000-13). Total world installed storage in 2023 ≈ 10 ZB ≈ 0.848 ZiB - humanity has barely manufactured enough storage to fill one zebibyte. ZFS (Zettabyte File System, 2001) was named to evoke ZB-scale ambitions; practical deployments remain far below 1 ZiB. At HAMR areal density (10 Tbit/inch²), 1 ZiB would need ≈ 60.9 million km² of magnetic surface - ≈ 12× all Earth's continents. 1 ZiB = 2⁷⁰ bytes = 1,024 EiB.
