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.

About Exabits

An exabit (Ebit) = 10¹⁸ bits (SI). Global IP traffic ≈ 4.8 exabytes/month in 2022 = ≈38.4 Ebit/month. Netflix at peak consumes ≈15% of North American bandwidth, accumulating Ebits/year. All installed cross-Atlantic cable capacity ≈ 2,000 Tbit/s in 2024; 1 Ebit transits in ≈ 500 s at full utilisation. The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will generate ≈ 7,200 Ebit/year of reduced data. 1 Ebit = 10¹⁸ bits = 125 PB.
