1 Terabyte Hard Drive?

Well an ExaByte would be enough capacity to hold all words ever spoken by mankind from the beginning till now!

A petabyte at broadband download rates of a megabyte/second would take 31 years to download.

An exabyte would take 31,000 years to download.

I heard they have experimental networks between some supercomputers that are terabyte/second.

I heard also they will come out w/ 10 petabyte harddrives in 7 years. You can Gooooooooogle this.

They will probably come out with the 90 ghz processor in the same week.

I only hope it supports terabytes of mem.

the term you speak of is 1 yobibyte (YiB) = 2^80 bytes = 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 bytes

so as to these prizes? :haha:

1. prizes????? a 3 year old electronic tee shirt, apparently.

2. ROFLMFAO at this thread.

3. Let me guess.... Techspot.com forums debuted in Feb. 2002???

4. wow. someday this thread will be used as an official jokebook when ****bytes are so large and there are sooooo many names that the shortest usable size will be named something like sandiegocaliforniaunitedstatesofamericanorthamericawesternhemispherenorthernhemisphereearthsolarsyatemsunmilkywaygalaxyuniversalstudiosbytes.

5. perhaps one of you admins should change the name of this thread...its a little
obsolete.

6. OK last edit, i promise. Congratulations. Techspot.com is one of the 5 websites on the internet containing the word "sortabyte." and the only one in english at that.

Seinfeld...yada yada yada.

????????
did i miss something???

lol

or maybe a wafflebite

They have had TB harddrives for around 20 years now, I wouldnt be surprised if they had a PB harddrive. Consumer TB Harddrives are right around the corner for the market. Although harddrive technology is so old, I wouldnt be surprised in 5-10 years to see something more hard. HD's are reaching their limitations in RPM speed and so forth.

Big numbers

How many Lunto bytes in a Luma byte?

Wow, this discussion has gone on for way too long! And I could really go for some waffle bytes right about now.

Omg Look At This!

Apparently engadget says that seagate have invented a new "nano lubricant" for future hard drives. It says that thay could cram 10x the amount of storage into one drive! At the moment this would be 7.5 Terabytes (750GB x 10)! Check it out:

love all the names suggested, what is the world come to? it just brings me back to the days when i would make a program and save Data on punch tape and worked a mainframe with 4mb i think! it was mega powerful and fast

but i reckon the largest storage device ever will hold 1 Imposabyte which is 9.999999x10^9999 yottabytes, and will be owned by the inland revenue for storing details including genetic makeup for tax and credit checking purposes.

hey what about a googlebyte 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0 bytes

1000 yottabytes= 1 brontobyte
1000 brontobytes= 1 nisabytes
or so I've heard
