title: Is there such thing as a Perabyte?
body: <p>I recently saw a marketing video that cited the &quot;Perabyte&quot; as a unit of disk storage measure. I emailed a representative responsible for the video and got a response that &quot;1 Perabyte (PB) = 1024 Terabytes (TB).&quot;</p>
  <p>A quick google search seems to indicate that a <em>Petabyte</em> is defined as 1000 TB.</p>
  <p>Is a Perabyte a real thing, and is it 1024 (vs 1000) TB?</p>
  <p>Edit: This thread has answered my question, despite the votes to close. No one has heard of a &quot;Perabyte&quot; except as a misspelling of &quot;Petabyte.&quot; Thanks.</p>
  <p>Edit (2): <em>Petabytes</em> have been tagged real by &quot;BRIGHT SIDE&quot;</p>
