(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Just some info on the size of bits and bytes.

Bit - Smallest unit of information, also known as binary digit.

Nibble - 4 bits, or half a byte.

Byte - 8 bits, one character (letter) equals 8 bits.

Word - 16 bits, some computers use words up to 64 bits long.

Kilobyte (KB) - 1024 Bytes.

Megabyte (MB) - 1,048,576 bytes, or 1024 Kilobytes.

Gigabyte (GB) - 1,073,741,824 bytes, or 1024 Megabytes.

Terabyte (TB) - 1,099,511,627,776 bytes, or 1024 Gigabytes.

Petabyte (PB) - 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes, or 1024 Terabytes.

Exabyte (EB) - 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes, or 1024 Petabytes.

Zettabyte (ZB) - 1,180,591,620,717,411,303,424 bytes, or 1024 Exabytes.

Youttabyte (YB) - 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 bytes. Im pretty sure this is the biggest.

So is there any hard disks or flashdrives that have youttabyte?

No, not even anything near that. I believe there is only around a few petabytes of info on the whole internet Although I think websites like Amazon have used around 1 petabyte in there lifetime.

Also so you understand how large the yotta prefix is here are some exaples:

* The mass of the Earth is 5973.6 Yg (or 5.9736 Zt).
* The total power output of the Sun is approximately 383 YW.
* The known universe is estimated to be 880 Ym in diameter.
* The average power released by the Tsar Bomba was 5.4 YW.
