just found this and thought it was interesting...





A yottabyte (derived from the SI prefix yotta-) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to one septillion (one long scale quadrillion) bytes. It is commonly abbreviated YB.

1 yottabyte = 1024 bytes = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes

It is a pleasant coincidence that Avogadro's number, 6.0221415×1023 is approximately equal to 279. That is, Avogadro's number is almost a "round number" in binary, and a (binary) yottabyte is approximately 2.01 × Avogadro's number of bytes. Humorously, it can be said that a (binary) yottabyte is about 2 moles of bytes.

How many yottabytes would it take to describe a single human being? Assuming the average adult human is 75 kg (165 pounds), we can determine a rough estimate of how many moles of atoms are in the human body. Since the body is made up of 65% oxygen, 18% carbon, 10% hydrogen, 3% nitrogen, 1.5% calcium, and other elements, one could use a periodic table to show that the average human body contains about 11,800 moles of atoms. If one would commit a single byte of information to store the location of every atom contained in the body of a human, it would require about 5,900 yottabytes. (One byte per atom would not actually be sufficient, however.)

easier to comprehend =

1 yottabyte = 1 terrabyte x 1 terrabyte

A Terrabyte is big enough as it is.

but if the yottabyte was cheap...i would get it for the heck of it...wouldnt u??

lol, ya, you would never need to buy another HDD XD.

lol...u remember that thing miles.....it was frickin huge

There's bigger the the 2TB image I showed. Look up "TB Hard Drive" at Froogle in Google and set it highest price first. The 8TB is rack mounted and its huge.

It requires its own power supply...lol.
