storage amounts by [MR] on 07-21-2005 at 04:52 PM

ok first there is byte, then KB, then MB, then GB, then terabyte, then petabyte, whats after that?

RE: storage amounts by Tochjo on 07-21-2005 at 04:56 PM

Exabyte, zettabyte, yottabyte. The prefixes are universal and are mentioned in the Système International d'Unités (SI).

RE: storage amounts by [MR] on 07-21-2005 at 04:57 PM

RE: storage amounts by Anubis on 07-21-2005 at 07:49 PM

After Yottabyte comes harpibite, then grouchibite, then a zeppibite, then a gummibite and then chicibite. No joke...they are all the metric prefixs added to byte that come after yotta...there are also likely to be more. However those file types aren't SI aproved, because they aren't anywhere near being used...but will be in the next edition...but after that we can surely have an Anubisbite

* Anubis wants a chicibite Gmail account :p

RE: storage amounts by user27089 on 07-21-2005 at 07:53 PM

I really want a chicibite hard-drive, i really want to work out how many gigabytes that is :|.

RE: storage amounts by ipab on 07-21-2005 at 10:05 PM

or an ipabyte :p
honestly though im good with terabyte, I don't really see a point in that much storage (beyond a terabyte that is)

RE: storage amounts by [MR] on 07-21-2005 at 10:07 PM

ya u couldnt ever use up that space for a whole long time

You never know though. Now 200GB seems a lot for most people, but maybe in about 10 years that will be considered quite small. I can't begin to imagine what could take up that space, but thats what people thought when hard drive spaces where measured in MB.

Anyway, what about a monsterbyte? Sounds good to me.
RE: storage amounts by gif83 on 07-21-2005 at 10:40 PM

i would imagine films at increasingly high quality could very easily take up that space....

as for suggestions of new names... how's about:
OMFGthatsfrickinhugeabyte


edit:

ok i've realised my suggestion is stupid... so i've abbreviated it to:

OMFGTFHbyte  ;) :p

RE: storage amounts by Supersonicdarky on 07-22-2005 at 01:04 AM

i think mine goes the best: [Image: Superman_logo_spins.gif]uperbyte

RE: storage amounts by qgroessl on 07-22-2005 at 02:19 AM

It only goes the best if you have the funky animated S in it ;) haha... Of course.... But yeah... on the subject ;)... A computer with that much space would be really awesome! Think of how fast it would work.

RE: storage amounts by Supersonicdarky on 07-22-2005 at 02:22 AM

amout of space doesn;t affect the pc speed. The processor and ram type/size does

RE: storage amounts by qgroessl on 07-22-2005 at 02:32 AM

But if you're like me and have your computer full of junk music that I never listen to, and since it's shared also has other junk things that nobody uses, it doesn't have much memory and programs are running almost constantly with alot of strain on the system.

Yeah, look at Hi-Res HDTV, even when compressed it can be around 1.4gb for a good looking 45 minute TV show.
