About Yobibytes
A yobibyte (YiB) = 2⁸⁰ bytes ≈ 1.21 × 10²⁴ bytes (IEC 80000-13) - the largest named binary byte unit (2008 edition); 2022 revision added 'ronbi' (Ri, 2⁹⁰) and 'quetti' (Qi, 2¹⁰⁰). At HAMR areal density (10 Tbit/inch² projected by 2030), 1 YiB would require ≈ 6.24 million km² of magnetic platter surface - modestly exceeding the area of Australia. World total storage in 2023 ≈ 0.00848 YiB. 1 YiB = 2⁸⁰ bytes = 1,024 ZiB.
About Exbibytes
An exbibyte (EiB) = 2⁶³ bytes ≈ 9.22 × 10¹⁸ bytes (IEC 80000-13). 2⁶³ is also the absolute value of INT64_MIN (the smallest signed 64-bit integer), making 1 EiB the natural upper limit for file systems using signed 64-bit byte offsets. File system theoretical maxima: NTFS 16 EiB; APFS 8 EiB; Btrfs 16 EiB; ZFS 256 quadrillion ZiB. Total hyperscale cloud storage estimated at 500-1,000 EiB as of 2024. 1 EiB = 2⁶⁰ bytes = 1,024 PiB.
