Formula

bytes = PB × 1125899906842624

A petabyte is 1024 TB or 1.13 quadrillion bytes. Major cloud providers (AWS, Google, Azure), national research facilities, and streaming services manage PB-scale storage. Facebook reportedly stores over 500 PB of user data; YouTube processes multiple PB daily. The binary standard makes 1 PB = 2⁵⁰ = 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes.
