Excellent, except for ending with Terabyte.  Must future proof gimmicks.

A reminder of what’s already in place, and maybe the soon to be common:

  • Kilobyte (KB) - 1024 Bytes
  • Megabyte (MB) - 1024 KB
  • Gigabyte (GB) - 1024 MB
  • Terabyte (TB) - 1024 GB
  • Petabyte (PT) – 1024 TB
  • Exabyte (EB) – 1024 PT
  • Zettabyte (ZB) – 1024 EB
  • Yottabyte (YB) – 1024 ZB

I remember having under a GB storage on my home computer, and in 2007 a TB is now in reach for home users.  Even Mac users. Crazy times.
