How to Convert Yobibytes to Exbibytes
To convert from yobibytes (YiB) to exbibytes (EiB), you multiply the value in yobibytes by 1,024. This conversion is derived from the fact that 1 EiB = 2⁶⁰ bytes and 1 YiB = 2⁸⁰ bytes. For more information about yobibytes as a unit of measurement, visit our yobibytes page.
Formula
Exbibytes = Yobibytes × 1,024
or
EiB = YiB × 1,024
Examples
- 1 YiB = 1 × 1,024 = 1,024 EiB
- 10 YiB = 10 × 1,024 = 10,240 EiB
- 100 YiB = 100 × 1,024 = 102,400 EiB
- 1,000 YiB = 1,000 × 1,024 = 1,024,000 EiB
When to Convert Yobibytes to Exbibytes
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 exbibytes (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 a yobibyte (YiB)?
A yobibyte is a unit of digital information storage, equal to 2⁸⁰ bytes (approximately 1.208925819614629174706176 septillion bytes). It is part of the binary prefixes (IEC standard) and is often used in technical contexts to distinguish from the base-10 yottabyte.
What is an exbibyte (EiB)?
An exbibyte is a unit of digital information storage, equal to 2⁶⁰ bytes (approximately 1.15 quintillion bytes). It is part of the binary prefixes (IEC standard) and is often used in technical contexts to distinguish from the base-10 exabyte.
Why is there a difference between yobibytes and exbibytes?
The difference arises from the use of base-2 (binary) prefixes, where "yobi" (Yi) denotes 2⁸⁰ and "exbi" (Ei) denotes 2⁶⁰. This distinction is important for accurate capacity measurements in computing and data storage.
