Converting from Word (word) to Exabit (Eb) | Data storage (1KB=1024B)

What is Word (word)

In the realm of data storage, a "word" is a fundamental unit used to measure data size. Each word consists of 2 bytes, which means it can hold 16 bits of information. The word size is often determined by the architecture of computing systems and is commonly used in calculating larger data storage units.

What is Exabit (Eb)

An Exabit (Eb) is a larger unit of data storage, representing a substantial amount of digital information. One Exabit is equivalent to 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bits or 1 petabyte (PB) when considering broader storage units. Specifically, in the context of binary measurements, it's crucial to understand that 1 Exabit equals 260 bits, which aligns with the measurement standard in computing.
