exabyte
Quintillion bytes unit
An exabyte is a unit of digital information storage equal to one quintillion bytes—a billion gigabytes, or a thousand petabytes.
The prefix exa- denotes 10^18.
At this scale, practical examples help: all words ever spoken by humans might fit in five exabytes.
The company processes several exabytes of data annually.
