What Are the Typical Units Used to Measure Hash Rate?

Hash rate is typically measured in hashes per second (H/s) and its larger derivatives. For modern competitive mining, the common units are Terahashes per second (TH/s), Petahashes per second (PH/s), and Exahashes per second (EH/s).

One Exahash is equal to one quintillion (10^18) hashes per second. The increasing scale of these units reflects the exponential growth in the total computational power dedicated to mining networks like Bitcoin.
