A pebibit (a contraction of peta binary digit) is a unit of information or computer storage, abbreviated Pibit or sometimes Pib

1 pebibit = 250 bits = 1,125,899,906,842,624 bits = 1,024 tebibits

The pebibit is closely related to the petabit, which can either be a synonym for pebibit, or refer to 1015 bits = 1,000,000,000,000,000 bits, depending on context.
