The prefix 'tebi' is derived from the binary number system and it is used to distinguish it from the decimal-based 'terabyte' (TB). It is widely used in the field of computing as it more accurately represents the amount of data storage and data transfer in computer systems.

Where as a Petabyte (PB) is a decimal unit of digital information that is equal to 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes (or 8,000,000,000,000,000 bits) and commonly used to measure the storage capacity of enterprise storage arrays and data centers. It is also used to express data transfer speeds and in the context of data storage and memory, the binary-based unit of Pebibyte (PiB) is used instead.
