What is the capacity of a DVD (1 layer, 1 side)?

A DVD (1 layer, 1 side) has a marketed capacity of about 4.7 GB or roughly 4.38 GiB in binary terms.

How many exabytes equal one DVD (1 layer, 1 side)?

One DVD of this type corresponds to approximately 5.0465865728e-9 exabytes (10^18 bytes).

Why does the conversion result in very small numbers?

Because DVDs store far less data than exabytes, conversions yield very small fractional values, often displayed in scientific notation.

Browser-based and easy to use without needing special software

Examples

10 DVDs correspond to approximately 5.0465865728e-8 exabytes
100 DVDs equal about 5.0465865728e-7 exabytes

Common Use Cases

Converting physical DVD data sizes into large-scale digital units for analysis
Comparing moderate media storage with massive data volumes in cloud computing
Aggregating data quantities for industry or research reporting

Tips & Best Practices

Always verify the DVD storage size as variations exist between manufacturers
Use scientific notation for clarity when dealing with very small fractional exabyte values
Understand the difference between decimal exabytes and binary exbibytes in some contexts

Limitations

DVDs have a fixed and relatively small capacity compared to exabytes, resulting in very small fractional conversions
Variations in DVD capacity by manufacturer can affect precise conversion results
Exabyte uses decimal-based measurement; differences occur when compared to binary units like exbibytes
