There was a posting on / . regarding the amount of disk storage being shipped by the HDD manufacturers.
Quote:
I always wondered where they come up with these, and now I find there apparently is an "approved" list of geek-math-terms to describe them. Here is the list (from / .) : yocto- y 10^-24 zepto- z 10^-21 atto- a 10^-18 femto- f 10^-15 pico- p 10^-12 nano- n 10^-9 micro- m 10^-6 milli- m 10^-3 centi- c 10^-2 deci- d 10^-1 (none) -- -- deka- D 10^1 hecto- H 10^2 kilo- K 10^3 mega- M 10^6 giga- G 10^9 tera- T 10^12 peta- P 10^15 exa- E 10^18 zetta- Z 10^21 yotta- Y 10^24 Link to the article listing these: http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/...499008,00.html |

We could host everything everyone has on their HD on 1 single drive of that capacity, that'd be pretty useless but cool.

Did none of you realize they are talking about the total capacity of all shipped drives in one year from the entire industry, not a single drive?
