1MB=1024KB
1GB=1024MB
1TB=1024GB
1PB=1024TB (peta)
1EB=1024PB (exa)
1ZB=1024EB (Zetta or Hepa)
1YB=1024ZB (Yotta or Otta)
1NB=1024YB (Nea)
1DB=1024NB (Dea)
1UB=1024DB (Una)

I’ve had a spreadsheet on number names for years.
I think all the information in the world (we now generate 2-4TB a year) would fit on a 1PB drive.

If this guy was such a hotshot, why hasn’t he gotten someone to take a decent picture of him? I mean, just because you throw on some glasses and sit in front of a whiteboard with a bunch of crap written on it doesn’t make you some genius inventor.

Kinda hard to take people like this seriously, unless their work shows up in scientific journals.

could you imagine a hard drive crash with that much data to be lost?

Now… if only they could figure out a way to make this work, and if it would make the transfer speed faster… and make computers run faster.

well, it seems some people still do not understand the bits, bytes basic measurement which come from base 2. then 2 powers x.

2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024

1024 comes from 2 power 10!!! It is the exact and correct one!

People should realise this by looking at their RAM size.

what would be the cheapest hard drive to get for our selves now?

i am thinking of buying one but dont want to spend over the limit just to have a fresh hard drive. i like externals since you dont really lose your data just internal could be good too. i already lost 300 gb of music that was collected over many years due to some whack maxtor disc

For 750 $ that would roughly be 430 pounds, for a 500 GB Seagate hard drive you have to pay 230 pound, so with 2 of them I would have 1 TB and paid 460 pounds but with one of these I would have 700 TB abd gace spent 30 pound less, hopefully it will come out in the future There must be new technology coming soon from the companies that are making hard drives, maybe they will come with a solution faster

Faradays laws have nothing to do with storage lol. He doesn’t realize that the reason you need so many molecules to make up a bit is due to detection. If he really wanted to detect the individual molecule spin charges, he’d have to have one hell of a machine. You don’t see hand held molecular detection machines made to the general public do you?
