About Tebibytes
A tebibyte (TiB) = 2⁴⁰ bytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes (IEC 80000-13). Storage management tools (Hadoop HDFS, Ceph, ZFS) report in TiB. A 16-drive NAS with 20 TB drives in RAID 6 has ≈252 TiB usable. RAID 5 rebuild at 200 MB/s for a 16 TiB drive takes ≈25 hours (risk window). Cloud archive storage (S3 Glacier) costs ≈$0.001/GB-month. 1 TiB = 2⁴⁰ bytes = 1,024 GiB.
About Petabits
A petabit (Pbit) = 10¹⁵ bits (SI). Major internet exchange points (DE-CIX, AMS-IX) handle peak traffic of multi-Tbit/s, accumulating Pbits per hour. Bell Labs (2022) achieved 1.02 Pbit/s over a single fibre pair. CERN LHC distributes ≈ 720 Pbit/year through the WLCG computing grid. 100 wavelengths at 800 Gbit/s each = 80 Tbit/s per fibre; ≈13 such fibres = 1 Pbit/s. 1 Pbit = 10¹⁵ bits = 125 TB.
