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 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.
