I was recently browsing the internet to find out how much space YouTube would have since they have so many videos on their servers. I found this little chart/image that shows different comparisons to better explain what a petabyte is.

What about the exabyte? And what about the yottabyte?
We have yet to go there. 5 EB is the amount of every spoken word since the beginning of mankind. |

QUOTE (lolhohhoh @ Mar 10 2010, 08:47 AM) this seems tempting, i wonder how the size of the 1PB HDD would be. Either a 3.5inch or a 2.5inch. Heck I can't even fill up a 300GB HDD how would I ever fill up a 1TB. Maybe in twenty years when Windows 11 is like a 100GB installation and all games are 50GB due to gigantic textures and super-detailed models. |
