What is a petabyte?

A thousand terabytes, the scale of large data centres.

What is a byte?

Eight bits, the smallest addressable unit in most computers.

The formula

B = PB × 1e+15

Every result on this page comes from this formula. Nothing is rounded until the final display, so figures match a spreadsheet to the cent.
