 Petabyte
To clarify the meaning (1) above, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), a standards body, in 1998 defined new prefixes by combining the International System of Units (SI) prefixes with the word "binary" (see Binary prefix).
Thus meaning (1) is called by the IEC a pebibyte (PiB), and meaning (2) is called by the IEC a petabyte.
This naming convention has not, as of 2003, been widely adopted.

After an appropriate gestation, out has popped the kibibyte and kibibit, which represent exactly 1,024 bytes or 1,024 bits, respectively.
We now also have the mebibyte, the gibibyte, the tebibyte, the pebibyte, and the exbibyte!
Now, my challenge to you, other than to remember to use this new terminology, is to say "mebibyte" and "exbibyte" quickly, 10 times each.

 A Change in Terminology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
As of this writing (22-Mar-1999) I unfortunately have not yet seen the proposed standard, but I am under the impression that it contains just the prefixes Ki (Kibibyte), Mi (Mebibyte), Gi (Gibibyte), and Ti (Tibibyte).
I've extrapolated in my table of Powers of Two that the proposal does or will include the prefixes Pi (Pebibyte), Ei (Exbibyte), Zi (Zebibyte), and Yi (Yobibyte).
When and if the standard changes I will update this table to show the differences between, for instance, a "Kilobyte" and a "Kibibyte".
