There are a thousand gigabytes in a terabyte, a thousand terabytes in a petabyte, a thousand petabytes in an exabyte, a thousand exabytes in a zettabyte, and a thousand zettabytes in a yottabyte. Ping for later

>There are a thousand gigabytes in a terabyte, a thousand terabytes in a petabyte, a thousand petabytes in an exabyte, a thousand exabytes in a zettabyte, and a thousand zettabytes in a yottabyte. In other words, a yottabyte is 1,000,000,000,000,000GB. Are you paranoid yet?
Actually that number is wrong, replace “a thousand” in the above with “one thousand twenty four” and the multiplication is correct. (IE computer storage is measured in 2^n units, not 10^n... don’t let them shortchange you.)

One yottabyte would be more than 150 Terabytes for every person on Earth.

Porn, spam, porn spam, wrong numbers, telemarketing calls, old people talking about what they had to eat that day, stupid blogs and twitter messages of no substance...
Yes God Bless them. Fill up the volumes! Keep American storage media makers working!

One yottabyte would be more than 150 Terabytes for every person on Earth. Cool. You think they'll make backups of our digital lives possible? Crash your HDD, be dumb enough to not have a backup (I just finished one), contact the NSA and get an image of your drive... :-) I mean, I think I only have 1 TB in my entire house on all my drives combined...
