No idea what i would do with 500 terabytes but i can see it becoming easily accessible in the next few years.

Yeah, but who says it wasn't a diversion?

Boy oh boy how quick we are to steer this thread on a off topic failroad.

True, never know what the mods get upto behind closed threads.

Anyway, steering back ontopic, kind of...

I think a petabyte comes after a terabyte, but what comes after that? Even then, that's a shizenload of memory!

That guy looks evil though, I rekon he will have this technology implanted into our minds and make us all drifters.

1. 1000^1 k kilo,
   
2. 1000^2 M mega,
   
3. 1000^3 G giga,
   
4. 1000^4 T tera,
   
5. 1000^5 P peta,
   
6. 1000^6 E exa,
   
7. 1000^7 Z zetta,
   
8. 1000^8 Y yotta
   

I'd say this new technology could probably get you about 50 petabytes on a HDD sized disc or whatever they use. Google transfers about 20 PBs per day according to wiki...
