Zebibytes per second (ZiB/s)
Petabytes per second (PB/s)

Conversion Formula

PB/s = ZiB/s × 1180591.621

About Zebibytes per second

Zebibyte per second (ZiB/s) = 2⁷⁰ B/s ≈ 1.181 × 10²¹ B/s (IEC 80000-13). Global internet traffic in 2024 ≈ 5 ZB/year; at 1 ZiB/s the year's traffic transfers in ≈ 5 seconds. LHC ATLAS/CMS raw detector output ≈ 1 PB/s - six orders below 1 ZiB/s. Purely cosmological. 1 ZiB/s = 2⁷⁰ B/s ≈ 8 Zibit/s.

About Petabytes per second

Petabyte per second (PB/s) = 10¹⁵ B/s (SI). Theoretical for single systems. NTT 2024 fibre lab record = 191 TB/s ≈ 0.19 PB/s. Exascale HPC with 10,000 nodes × 10 TB/s memory bandwidth each = 100,000 TB/s = 100 PB/s in aggregate - plausible as a cluster total but not a single link. Global all-data-centre combined write throughput ≈ 1-10 PB/s. 1 PB/s = 10¹⁵ B/s = 8 Pbit/s.
