A pebibyte (a contraction of peta binary byte) is a unit of information or computer storage, abbreviated PiB.
- 1 pebibyte = 250 bytes = 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes = 1,024 tebibytes
The pebibyte is closely related to the petabyte, which can either be used as a popular synonym for pebibyte, or to refer to 1015 bytes = 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes, depending on context (see binary prefix).
