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.
