Convert Exabytes per second (EB/s) to Petabits per second (Pbit/s) instantly and accurately.

Exabytes per second (EB/s)
Petabits per second (Pbit/s)

Conversion Formula

Pbit/s = EB/s × 8000

About Exabytes per second

Exabyte per second (EB/s) = 10¹⁸ B/s (SI). Total global storage write-throughput of all data centres combined in 2024 ≈ 1 EB/s in aggregate - but no single system or link approaches this. A single-mode fibre C-band Shannon limit ≈ 15 Tbit/s; reaching 1 EB/s = 8 Ebit/s would need ≈ 500,000 such fibres. 1 EB/s = 10¹⁸ B/s = 8 Ebit/s.

About Petabits per second

Petabit per second (Pbit/s) = 10¹⁵ bit/s (SI). Research-scale only: NTT (2024) achieved 1.53 Pbit/s over a single fibre using space + wavelength division multiplexing. The combined peak of the world's largest internet exchange points (DE-CIX, AMS-IX) is multi-Tbit/s. Global IP traffic ≈ 1.8 Pbit/s sustained average in 2030 forecast. 1 Pbit/s = 10¹⁵ bit/s = 125 TB/s.
