About Yottabytes
A yottabyte (YB) = 10²⁴ bytes (SI) - among the largest original SI named powers. Global annual data generation forecast ≈ 175 ZB = 0.000175 YB by 2025 (IDC) - a yottabyte equals ≈ 5,700 years of data production at 2025 rates. Claims of multi-YB NSA data centres were debunked; credible estimates: 3-100 EB. Erasing 1 YB at the Landauer limit (300 K) would require ≈ 182 J - enough to heat 0.4 mL of water by 1°C. 1 YB = 10²⁴ bytes = 1,000 ZB.
About Kibibytes
A kibibyte (KiB) = 2¹⁰ = 1,024 bytes (IEC 80000-13) - the binary kilobyte used by OS memory management. Linux/Windows page size = 4 KiB (4,096 bytes); default NTFS/ext4/APFS cluster size = 4 KiB. CPU L1-D cache: 16-64 KiB. Arduino AVR flash: 2-32 KiB. Windows labels KiB as 'KB'. 1 KiB = 1,024 bytes = 8,192 bits.
