About Zettabytes
A zettabyte (ZB) = 10²¹ bytes (SI). The 'zettabyte era' was declared by Cisco in 2016 when annual IP traffic first crossed 1 ZB. Global IP traffic ≈ 4.8 ZB/year in 2022. Total data-centre capacity worldwide ≈ 10 ZB in 2023. Global datasphere forecast: 175 ZB/year created by 2025 (IDC). Erasing 1 ZB at the Landauer limit (300 K) would require ≈ 22.8 J - a tiny energy cost that thermodynamic limits will not bite for decades. 1 ZB = 10²¹ bytes = 1,000 EB.
About Tebibytes
A tebibyte (TiB) = 2⁴⁰ bytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes (IEC 80000-13). Storage management tools (Hadoop HDFS, Ceph, ZFS) report in TiB. A 16-drive NAS with 20 TB drives in RAID 6 has ≈252 TiB usable. RAID 5 rebuild at 200 MB/s for a 16 TiB drive takes ≈25 hours (risk window). Cloud archive storage (S3 Glacier) costs ≈$0.001/GB-month. 1 TiB = 2⁴⁰ bytes = 1,024 GiB.
