Hi,
Yesterday I faced a very strange question from Sadhan. What he wanted to know was what is the extent of unit for memory that has already been defined. What comes after we are finished with gigabytes and tera bytes.
This instantly caught my attention and after googling I found the answer. So I decided to put down a small blog on it. Here is the list of the Unit for the least to the top
Bits - Smallest units
Byte - 8 bits
Kilobits - 1024 Bytes
Megabyte - 1024 Kilo Bytes
Gigabyte - 1024 Mega Bytes
Terabyte - 1024 Giga Bytes
Petabyte - 1024 Tera Bytes
Exabyte - 1024 Peta Bytes
Zettabyte - 1024 Exa Bytes
Yottabyte - 1024 Zetta Bytes
Hence one Yottabyte is equal to 9671406556917033397649408 bits. Yes it’s a 25 digit number. Not really sure what database can take that space or rather require that amount of space
