About Kilobytes
A kilobyte (KB) = 1,000 bytes (SI). Used by all storage manufacturers (HDD, SSD, USB, SD) and endorsed by the IEC and FTC. Typical sizes: plain-text email 2-5 KB; HTML page 10-100 KB; Word document 10-30 KB. Ethernet MTU = 1,500 bytes ≈ 1.5 KB; jumbo frames 9 KB. MP3 at 128 kbit/s = 16 KB/s of audio. 1 KB = 1,000 bytes = 8,000 bits.
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.
