nerdy goodness


Smitty came in asking what came after a terabyte. I was ready to say 2 terabytes, but kept it to myself. We just bought a new storage server and were taking guesses how much it could hold.


I didn't know the answer to his question. Crunchy knew the next two steps up, but we no idea what came after an exabyte. Here's just an interesting factoid for you nerdy size queens.




  • 1000 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte

  • 1000 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte

  • 1000 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte

  • 1000 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte

  • 1000 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte

  • 1000 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte

  • 1000 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte

  • 1000 Zettabyte = 1 Zottabyte

  • 1000 Zottabyte = 1 Brontobyte (that's 1 followed by 27 zeroes)
