Do I understand this correctly, that with the new NSA factility using Yottabyte-sized storage, we are now out of prefixes for sizing data?
I looked around a little bit. Heck if I could find what comes after "yotta"
- Einherji 13y agoQuick, coin it! I suggest Xottabyte. As a fallback tough we can always say Octilion Bytes.
- TallGuyShort 13y agoI suggest we change the spelling to yodabytes and start naming subsequent prexifes after other Jedi. windubytes, kenobibytes, etc...
- themstheones 13y agoYoda would be the ultimate on that list too, bro.
- ihsw 13y agoI propose quads with regards to Star Trek nomenclature[1], which are increasing by 4 steps between the byte steps. 1 quad = 1 terabyte (10^3^4 bytes) 1 kiloquad = 1 yottabyte (10^3^8 bytes) 1 megaquad = 10^3^12 bytes 1 gigaquad = 10^3^16 bytes And so forth. While in Star Trek no direct comparison between quads and bytes is ever explained, this scale seems appropriate. [1] http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Quad http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Quad
- drhayes9 13y agoAfter yottabytes come hellabytes.
- themstheones 13y agoThen hollabackbytes, then yolobytes.
- quackerhacker 13y agoThat is just too funny...that would be awesome if they made that the next name.
- rgbrenner 13y agoSI stops at yotta.. but there are unofficial prefixes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-SI_unit_prefix http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-SI_unit_prefix
- blhack 13y agoHella. Hellabytes. http://www.makehellaofficial.blogspot.com/ http://www.makehellaofficial.blogspot.com/
