Seriously... We have reached Terabyte sizes already... Next will be Petabyte, then Exabyte, then Zetabyte and then Yottabyte. Whenever they arrive it will be one Hellofabyte to say the least.

Imagine having to back up a Yottabyte hard drive... or have a Yottabyte hard drive crash and you lose everything that is one it... ARRRRGHHH...

So lets have predictions... When will the first Petabyte hard drive be available to the masses for their home computers (I'm not talking big business here... I'm talking the hobby builder at home). For those that don't know, a Petabyte is not a dog chomping on you but 1,000 Terabytes.

First Petabyte will be available in... I say... 2015

I remember seeing one computer with *gasp* 20 gigabytes of HD space! Since my computer could only hold one gigabyte.

I've never heard of a yottabyte before. Since we still don't really have all those bytes (available for the home) yet, I'm expecting the yottabyte to be around in 2025.

Terabyte < Petabyte < Exabyte < Zetabyte < Yottabyte
Present 2011   +   5 yrs     +   7 yrs   +    5 yrs   +     7 yrs =  2035
