Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-001413

A unit of digital information storage equal to 2 to the power of 80 bytes, or 1,024 zebibytes. The yobibyte (YiB) is the largest standard unit of data defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) using binary prefixes. This immense size is approximately 20% larger than a yottabyte (YB), which is based on the decimal prefix for 10 to the power of 24 bytes.
