The prex exbi (symbol Ei) represents multiplication by 1024 , therefore:

1 exbibyte = 2

60

bytes = 1 152 921 504 606 846 976 bytes = 1 024 pebibytes

The exbibyte is closely related to the exabyte (EB), the corresponding unit in the
18
decimal system of multiples, which is dened as 10 bytes =
1 000 000 000 000 000 000 bytes. 1 EiB 1.15 EB.
