About Converting GiBs to Petabits
GiB and Petabit are everyday digital-storage units, used for everything from file sizes and app downloads to storage device capacity and mobile data allowances. Specifically: GiB digital storage unit, and petabit digital storage unit.
Formula
petabits = gibs × 0.000008589934592
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 gib equals 8589934592 base units, and 1 petabit equals 1e+15 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gib-to-petabit factor of 0.000008589934592.
Simple example
1 GiB × 0.000008589934592 = 0.0000085899 Pb
1 gib = 0.0000085899 petabits.
Real-world example
500 GiB × 0.000008589934592 = 0.0042949673 Pb
500 gibs = 0.0042949673 petabits.
