An exabyte (EB) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^18 bytes in the decimal system.

What does a block represent in data storage?

A block is the basic data allocation and transfer unit used by file systems and block devices, typically sized at 512 or 4096 bytes.

Why does block size affect conversion accuracy?

Because block sizes differ across systems, knowing the exact block size is essential for precise byte-to-block conversions.
