A exabyte (EB), derived from exa-byte, is an International System of Units (SI) unit of digital information storage equal to 1000 petabyte. This unit is part of IEC 80000-13 (International System of Quantities) which requires this unit to always equal 1000 petabytes. A closely related unit, exbibyte, is used to represent 1024 pebibytes.
