Topic: So what comes after Terabyte? - Page: 1

由于该帖子的部分内容已年深日久，可能包含陈旧过时或描述错误的信息。

Good question my son asked me this today. So I thought I'd share the answer a Petabyte

Petabyte: A Petabyte is approximately 1,000 Terabytes or one million Gigabytes. It's hard to visualize what a Petabyte could hold. 1 Petabyte could hold approximately 20 million 4-door filing cabinets full of text. It could hold 500 billion pages of standard printed text. It would take about 500 million floppy disks to store the same amount of data.

After that would be Exabyte :)


An Exabyte is approximately 1,000 Petabytes. Another way to look at it is that a Petabyte is approximately one quintillion bytes or one billion Gigabytes. There is not much to compare an Exabyte to. It has been said that 5 Exabytes would be equal to all of the words ever spoken by mankind.

This is GREAT information Cyder..really top notch! Now you might want to lay down...I know I would be tired after doing that much rehabing AND figuring out what is bigger than Terabyte.
 
And after de Exabyte?.... the ZettaByte

after de Zettabyte?.... the yottabyte

after the Yottabyte?...eerrr I dunno.... maybe the Dunnobyte?
 
a Brontobyte would be bigger then a yottabye some would say however i've not been able to confirm this as being official or not

Brontobyte: A Brontobyte is approximately 1,000 Yottabytes. The only thing there is to say about a Brontobyte is that it is a 1 followed by 27 zeros!
 
well scratch that idea, found this

There are several references to the term Brontobyte available on the Internet. These references suggest values of the Bronto prefix to be variously any of 10^15, 10^21, 10^24, or 10^27. There is no recognised Bronto prefix.


so

10^24 is the official largest measurement there is currently. Maybe someday new SI prefix's will be made to go higher.
 
After Brontobyte comes "really big".
 
After Brontobyte is the prefix that they let Jimmy Walker of the 70's sitcom "Good Times" name... "DinooooByyyte!!!".

He...hehe... uhhh... meh.

Ok, I'll go back to my corner now.

Mmm... mmm... good... them pita bites are.
 
Jason wayy too much time on ur hands there bro:)
 
to add to the chronic nerdiness, some research was being done into aligning hydrogen molecules in a cube the size of your thumb into a matrix and storing data on it. they werent able to calculate the datasize with a name but it'd probably be a raptorbyte since raptors had a tendancy to be small and lynch/eat everything in it's path including brontos.... now just need to figure out how to minimze the nuclear reactor thats required to power it to thumb-size as well.

back to hiding from the orderlies from the looney-bin

I DO love science :D

Think That Google got its name from a googol ,a googol is 1 and 600 zeros . a googolplex is 1 and a googol zero ,a googolplexbyte must be a lot ....

I would agree with the above except those prefixes must be approved by SI, since bronto hasn't been current si prefixes only go up to 10^24 (1 followed by 24 zeros) there isn't any si approved prefix to represent 10^27 yet, but since the SI isn't static and evolves to meet our needs of counting I'm sure we will someday see an offical prefix. One proposed extension after zetta and yotta, xona, weka, vunda, uda, and treda however not official yet.

I bought my first pc in 1994, it was an average system at that time and has 512Mb Hard drive and 4Mb Ram.
Ram was on 4 modules for about 30 euros per module... so 30 euros per Mb...
That was before 14 years... Where i work now we sell 1024 Mb (1Gb) modules for 25 euro... and my home pc has 500 Gb hard drive and so ..if this evolution continue after 14 years at 2021, an average pc will have 500 Petabytes storage or what ?....
I can't even think about a hard disk failure with no backup present...
 
Well I know what I would put after yottabyte, but I'm a little biased I think ;)

well my first computer was a commodor 64 no hd and i do belive it was 64k of ram it had to have 5" floppys to run but we sure did have fun with it ans with 200 games for it we never go bored
 
Before the C-64, I had a VIC-20. Used to program the hell out of that thing. Amazing what you could do with 8K. Yes you read that right, 8K and cassette tapes!
 
At some point, no, none of us will need a backup, because everyone will have at least one copy of everything on their HD.

How's that for a concept.
 
oh yah, c-64! WOW MAN THIS MAN MUST BE GOOD, its taking so looong to load!
