Megabytes (MB) to Petabits (Pbit) Conversion
Megabytes
The megabyte (MB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000,000 bytes (10⁶ bytes) in the SI decimal definition, or 1,048,576 bytes in binary convention. A minute of CD-quality audio requires approximately 10 MB uncompressed; a typical JPEG photograph ranges from 2 to 8 MB; a standard definition video runs roughly 1 GB per hour. The megabyte was the dominant storage unit for personal computers throughout the 1980s and 1990s before the gigabyte became standard.
Petabits
The petabit (Pbit) is a unit of digital information equal to 10¹⁵ bits. It is used to describe the aggregate capacity of large networks and data centre interconnects. Global internet traffic was estimated at several hundred exabits per month in 2022 — where one exabit equals 1,000 petabits. National telecommunications backbone networks and the largest internet exchange points are measured in petabits per second of total switching capacity.
