What do you call 1000 gigabytes

Audio and image and video data typically stored in "compressed" form, MP3 being an example. We'll talk about how compression works later. A data CD disk stores about MB. The audio on a CD is not compressed, which is why it takes so much more space than the MP3.

The series of bits are represented as spiral path of tiny pits in the silver material in the disk. Imagine that each pit is interpreted as a 0, and the lack of a pit is a 1 as the spiral sequence is read. Fun fact: the whole spiral on a CD is over 5km long. A flash memory card used in a camera might store 16 GB. How many fit on a 16 GB flash drive? You can buy 4 TB hard drives today, so we are beginning the time when this term comes in to common use. Gigabyte used to be an exotic term too, until Moore's law made it common.

Gigahertz - Speed, not Bytes One gigahertz is 1 billion cycles per second a megahertz is a million cycles per second. For context, there are 1, terabytes in a petabyte , 1, petabytes in an exabyte, 1, exabytes in a zettabyte and 1, zettabytes in a yottabyte. And one yottabyte can hold more than 45 trillion gigabyte Blu-ray discs. Two proposed names for the next levels are hellabyte or brontobyte 1, yottabytes. And what happens when the amounts of data exceed scientific names that correlate with their size?

Forbes addressed this in while projecting the next tier of data: a geopbyte 1, brontobytes. As computing power expands think: self-driving cars, smart homes, connected cities and the ability to measure the data-filled world increases, we are going to create much, much much , much more data.
