At cloud and internet scale, capacity is counted in exabytes; converting from petabytes keeps very large figures manageable.
1 PB = 0.00097656 EB using the binary standard (1 step = ×1024), or 0.001 EB using the decimal standard (1 step = ×1000).
To convert, multiply your PB value by the factor above. For example, 5 PB = 0.00488281 EB (binary) or 0.005 EB (decimal).
Operating systems and memory use the binary standard, where each unit step is 1,024. Storage manufacturers and network speeds use the decimal standard, where each step is 1,000. This converter supports both — switch modes above to match your context.
In binary: 1 EB = 1,024 PB. In decimal: 1 EB = 1,000 PB. So 1 PB = 0.00097656 EB (binary).
No — PB is smaller than EB. It takes 1,024 PB to make 1 EB (binary).
Multiply the PB value by 0.00097656 for binary, or 0.001 for decimal. You can also type any value into the converter above to see the result instantly.
Use binary (1024) for RAM, file sizes shown by your operating system, and programming. Use decimal (1000) for advertised drive capacities and network speeds.
