The zebibyte (a contraction of zettabinary byte, pronounced ZEH-bee-byte) is a standards-based binary multiple (prefix zebi-, symbol Zi-) of the byte, a unit of digital information storage. The zebibyte unit symbol is ZiB.
1 zebibyte = 270 bytes = 1180591620717411303424bytes = 1,024 exbibytes
The zebibyte is closely related to the zettabyte, which is defined as 1021 bytes = 1000000000000000000000bytes (see binary prefix).
The zebi and yobi prefixes were originally not part of the system of binary prefixes, but were added by the International Electrotechnical Commission in August 2005.[1]
