This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 71.167.70.178 (talk) at 15:12, 12 September 2009 (not at these sizes - it's mainly kilobyte and megabyte that are ambiguous). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

The exbibyte (a contraction of exabinary byte, pronounced EX-bee-byte) is a standards-based binary multiple (prefix exbi-, symbol Ei-) of the byte, a unit of digital information storage. The exbibyte unit symbol is EiB.

1 exbibyte = 260 bytes = 1152921504606846976bytes = 1,024 pebibytes

The exbibyte is closely related to the exabyte, which is defined as 1018 bytes = 1000000000000000000bytes (see binary prefix).
