About Gigabytes
A gigabyte (GB) = 10⁹ bytes (SI). All consumer HDDs, SSDs, SD cards, USB drives, and smartphones advertise in GB. Media sizes: 4K Blu-ray 66-100 GB; 4K Netflix film 10-15 GB; modern AAA PC game 50-200 GB; Google Maps offline country data 5-30 GB. The IBM 350 RAMAC (1956) stored 0.00000375 GB; a Seagate Exos 20 TB holds 20,000 GB - 5.3-million-fold increase in 66 years. 1 GB = 10⁹ bytes = 1,000 MB.
About Yottabits
A yottabit (Ybit) = 10²⁴ bits (SI), using the SI prefix 'yotta-' (Y, 10²⁴). All human digital data from the invention of writing through 2023 ≈ 120 ZB ≈ 0.00012 Ybits. A 'bit per atom' computer filling Earth's oceans (≈ 1.5 × 10²⁷ atoms) could conceivably store ≈ 1,000 Ybits. The SI system added 'ronna-' (10²⁷) and 'quetta-' (10³⁰) prefixes in November 2022 to extend beyond yotta-. 1 Ybit = 10²⁴ bits = 125 ZB.
