GB [Binary](gigabyte)

In the field of data, GB (Gigabyte) is a unit of measurement for digital information, particularly used to quantify data storage capacity. The binary gigabyte refers to the size based on the binary system or base 2.

In the binary system, a gigabyte is equivalent to 2^30 bytes, which means 1 binary gigabyte (GiB) is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes. The binary system is often used in computer science and data storage fields because these systems operate on bits, and bytes formed from bits are inherently structured in base 2.

However, it is essential to note that in the standard metric system (base 10) or SI units, 1 gigabyte (GB) is equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes or 10^9 bytes. Consequently, the binary gigabyte (GiB) is slightly larger than the metric gigabyte (GB) by a factor of around 1.074.

Overall, a binary gigabyte (GiB) is a common unit to measure digital storage capacity in the context of computer systems, hardware devices, and data storage-related fields.

Zibit(zebibit)

A zebibit (Zib) is a unit of digital information or computer storage in the field of data. It is derived from the binary system, a base-2 numeral system, which is widely used in computing and data communication. This system uses only two numbers, 0 and 1, called bits to represent all values.

The zebibit is part of a set of units known as binary prefixes, established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in 1998. It represents 2^70 (2 to the power of 70) bits, which is equivalent to 1,180,591,620,717,411,303,424 bits, or approximately 1.18 x 10^21 bits.

The term "zebibit" is formed by combining the SI prefix "zetta," which represents 10^21, with the term "binary" and the unit "bit," but it is distinct from the unit "zettabit" (Zb), which is based on the decimal system and is equal to 10^21 bits. The zebibit (ZiB) is slightly larger than the zettabit (Zb) due to the binary system's exponential growth.

In summary, a zebibit is a large unit of digital information that represents 2^70 bits, primarily used in computer storage and data communication to measure large quantities of data.
