A exbibit (a contraction of exa binary digit) is a unit of information or computer storage, abbreviated Eibit or sometimes Eib.

1 exbibit = 260 bits = 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bits = 1,024 pebibits

The exbibit is closely related to the exabit, which can either be a synonym for exbibit, or refer to 1018 bits = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bits, depending on context.
