The exbibit is a multiple of the bit, a unit of digital information storage, prefixed by the standards-based multiplier exbi (symbol Ei), a binary prefix meaning 260.[1][2] The unit symbol of the exbibit is Eibit or Eib.

1 exbibit = 260 bits = 1152921504606846976bits = 1024 pebibits[3]

The exbibit is closely related to the exabit, the corresponding unit using the metric prefix exa, which is 1018 bits = 1000000000000000000bits.

The binary prefixes are not part of the International System of Units (SI).
