Conversion Formula
EiB = TB × 8.673617380e-7
About Terabytes
A terabyte (TB) = 10¹² bytes (SI). Consumer HDDs: 1-22 TB; consumer NVMe SSDs: 1-8 TB. LTO-9 tape: 18 TB/cartridge; enterprise libraries: hundreds of petabytes. Whole genome sequencing: Illumina NovaSeq 6000 run ≈ 6 TB raw FASTQ. JWST downlinks ≈ 57 GB/day (≈20 TB/year). 4K NVR (64 cameras) ≈ 1 TB/day. 1 TB = 10¹² bytes = 1,000 GB.
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.
