Petabit to Block Converter

Petabit

The prefix peta (symbol P) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 10¹⁵. Therefore, 1 petabit (Pb) = 10¹⁵ bits or 1,000,000,000,000,000 bits.

Block

In data transmission and data storage, a block is a sequence of bytes or bits, having a nominal length (a block size). Putting data into blocks (blocking) blocking is used to speed up the handling of the data stream by the communication equipment. Blocked data is normally read a whole block at a time. For example a block may be equal to 4096 bits in a computer.
