Petabyte (10^15 Bytes)
A petabyte (PB) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^15 bytes or 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes.
History/Origin
The petabyte was introduced as part of the binary and decimal prefixes for large data storage units, gaining prominence with the growth of big data and large-scale data centers in the early 21st century.
Current Use
Petabytes are used to measure large-scale data storage capacities in data centers, cloud storage services, and enterprise data management systems.
Floppy Disk (3.5", Ed)
A 3.5-inch floppy disk with Enhanced Density (ED) capacity used for data storage and transfer.
History/Origin
The 3.5-inch floppy disk was introduced in the late 1980s as a portable storage medium, replacing earlier 5.25-inch disks. Enhanced Density versions emerged in the 1990s to increase storage capacity, but the format was eventually phased out in favor of more modern storage solutions.
Current Use
The 3.5-inch floppy disk (ED) is largely obsolete, with minimal use today primarily for legacy systems, data recovery, or nostalgic purposes. It has been replaced by USB drives, external hard drives, and cloud storage.
