    It just looks like they googled system of units and expected it to be the same as what I am talking about.

      It is the same as what you are talking about. Giga and Peta are listed prefixes that are 1,000,000 apart in the chart.

        Oh yes. 1 PB is 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes. 1,125,899,906,842,620 specifically. I didn’t click link. He responded like I was wrong.

                1 Petabyte is equal to 1,000,000 gigabytes or 1,048,576 if you want to get technical. This is all that is being said here.

                  No, these are two different units (like miles and nautical miles), not just a technicality. 1 PB isn’t “technically” 1 PiB. If it was, there wouldn’t be two distinct definitions.

                    I am speaking about hard drive space! How clearer can I be? That chart is in bytes. That means 1 Petabyte is a million Gigabytes.

          He responded like you were posting unit definition and jokingly being worried you’d post all of them, e.g. TIL 1 kilometer is 1000 meters.

            Terrible joke if so lol. That would be insane to list all of them.
