How to Convert Exabytes to Mebibytes
To convert from exabytes (EB) to mebibytes (MiB), you multiply the value in exabytes by 9.5367431640625e+11. This conversion is derived from the fact that 1 EB = 10¹⁸ bytes and 1 MiB = 2²⁰ bytes. For more information about exabytes as a unit of measurement, visit our exabytes page.
Formula
Mebibytes = Exabytes × 9.5367431640625e+11
or
MiB = EB × 9.5367431640625e+11
Examples
- 1 EB = 1 × 9.5367431640625e+11 = 9.5367431640625e+11 MiB
- 10 EB = 10 × 9.5367431640625e+11 = 9.5367431640625e+12 MiB
- 100 EB = 100 × 9.5367431640625e+11 = 9.5367431640625e+13 MiB
- 1,000 EB = 1,000 × 9.5367431640625e+11 = 9.5367431640625e+14 MiB
When to Convert Exabytes to Mebibytes
This conversion is useful in data storage and networking, especially when dealing with extremely large capacities where the distinction between base-10 and base-2 prefixes becomes significant.
Cloud Storage
Cloud providers often quote storage in exabytes (base-10), but the underlying systems might operate in mebibytes (base-2), making this conversion relevant for accurate capacity planning.
Big Data Analytics
In big data environments, understanding the true scale of data in both units can be crucial for system architects and data scientists.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an exabyte (EB)?
An exabyte is a unit of digital information storage, equal to 10¹⁸ bytes (one quintillion bytes). It is commonly used to measure very large amounts of data, such as in cloud storage and big data analytics.
What is a mebibyte (MiB)?
A mebibyte is a unit of digital information storage, equal to 2²⁰ bytes (1,048,576 bytes). It is part of the binary prefixes (IEC standard) and is often used in technical contexts to distinguish from the base-10 megabyte.
Why is there a difference between exabytes and mebibytes?
The difference arises from the use of base-10 (decimal) prefixes versus base-2 (binary) prefixes. "Exa" (E) denotes 10¹⁸, while "mebi" (Mi) denotes 2²⁰. This distinction is important for accurate capacity measurements in computing and data storage.
