Convert petabyte (PB) to byte (B)
Selected category: bits and bytes.
Definition and details for petabyte (PB):
Petabyte (PB) is a unit of information equal to 10005 bytes, defined by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in December 1998. However, when referred to main memory or RAM capacity PB is equal to 10245 bytes, but this should now be called a pebibyte.
Definition and details for byte (B):
Byte is a unit of digital information in computing and telecommunications. It is an ordered collection of bits, in which each bit can be 1 or 0. Byte is the basic addressable element in many computer architectures because it is used to encode a character of text in a computer. The size of a byte is typically hardware dependent, but the modern standard is 8 bits, as this is a convenient power of 2.
