In my industry reading, I just got wind that the petabyte drives are coming.... What's a petabyte you say? I can only surmise that it's 1000 Terrabytes. 1 terrabyte is 1000 Gigabytes. That's a lot of Fiero pictures and videos

thats like 214,748,364 pictures, assuming each picture is 5mb each. Unless i calculated that wrong. There in units of 1024 btw, 1024mb = 1gb, 1024 gb= 1tb etc 1PB = 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes or 1,099,511,627,776 KB or 1,073,741,823 MB or 1,048,576 GB or 1,024 TB |
