What is a pebibyte?
The pebibyte (PiB) is 2^50 = 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes, a binary multiple defined by the IEC in 1998 to end the confusion over whether a kilobyte, megabyte and so on means a power of 1,000 or of 1,024. Operating systems such as Windows show sizes in these binary units while labelling them with the decimal names.
