In terms of digital information storage
which of the following is a multiple of a bit?
- overbite
- zebibit
- cubit
- weebit
EXPLANATION
Zetta- and Zebi-
- Zettabit. A unit of information or storage abbreviated Zbit or Zb. One zettabit most typically equals 1021 or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bits (one sextillion or one trilliard in long scale measure*). Note: Zettabit is not yet used; thought it’s only a matter of time before it is.
- Zebibit. A unit of information or storage abbreviated Zibit or Zib. This is the absolute binary measure equaling 1,180,591,620,717,411,303,424 (270) bits. Use it when precision is needed. Note: Zebibit is not yet used; thought it’s only a matter of time before it is.
- Zettabyte. A unit of information or storage abbreviated ZB. Again, there are/will be confusing interpretations for this term for different contexts (also see the more general discussion above).
- 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes (1021) when used in a networking context, clocks, or performance measures.
- 1,180,591,620,717,411,303,424 (270) bytes. This definition is used for memory, file and formatted disk size, and other contexts where binary notation fits better.
- Zebibyte. A unit of information or storage abbreviated ZiB. This is the specific measure of the binary representation of 1,180,591,620,717,411,303,424 (270) bytes. When precision is demanded, this is the term to use.
