BF2S Forums Now Heres Something I Bet You Didnt Know...

Tell me when they do lol

I have 2yottabytes of ram... lol
They might be needed in 22 century.

That's crazy....

A yottabyte is like... alot of gigabytes... lol I can't do the math.

terrabyte.... It's terabyte, with one 'r'

Well i do Comp Science so i did know that, but im sure a lot of other people dont, google or ebay or someone will have a yottabyte RAID harddrive system most likely.

why do i have a feeling you have no idea what your talking about?  maybe because you dont.

gigabyte 2^30 bytes
tera        2^40
peta       2^50
so on...
yottabyte 2^80

dont be confused... 2^80 is NOT twice as big as 2^40 ... it is WAYYYYY bigger.

just how  2^3  is 8
      and   2^6  is 64
      and   2^12 is 4096

so if google or ebay has a yottabyte raid.... then they are now the richest people in the world now, because that doesnt exist.

another way to put it is ...

tera is 2^40   which is equal to   1.01E12 or 1010000000000
yotta is 2^80  which is equal to   1.2E24  or 12000000000000000000000000

Lets put it this way... my Comp Science lecturer from Nottingham in the top 10 unis in England, has told us that companies like google, ebay etc use hard drive systems with that much memory, i also dont need you to tell me how powers work. I dont need some smart ass little kid tell me about computers when im doing a degree on the subject.

It is 10^15 times larger than a gigabyte, now you may not know but as large as that it that isnt large, and if you think it is you might want to go read up on some physics and maths.

Nottingham University is really nice, visited it a month back for an open day, lovely campus.  As for the hard drive sizes, I'll stick with my 200GB, suits me fine, plus I dont think I could stomach the cost of the Yottabyte one...

It is 10^15 times larger than a gigabyte, now you may not know but as large as that it that isnt large, and if you think it is you might want to go read up on some physics and maths. I know everyday people that have about 200 terabytes of data, now try comparing the amount of data they store to how much more ebay and google need to store, they will have a minimum of 6 copies of all the changes that happen each day and then 1 other copy of their entire database.

Lets see... first you talk like your 12.  Second im glad your teacher has to tell you what to think and say... Third I Thought you were daying you could BUY a yottabyte system from google or ebay.  I also like how you enjoy constantly saying you are getting a degree in computer science.  Congrats want a cookie?  It doesnt matter until you actually have that degree.  Fourthly, im a computer engineer major, i just dont go around thinkin im better than everyone else because thats my major, like you do.  And im 21 btw.

gigabyte 2^30 bytes
yottabyte 2^80

no, a yottabyte is not 10^15 times bigger than a gigabyte.  I have no idea where you got that number either.  maybe your professor told you.

No everday person has 200 terabytes.  There is nothing that the everday person would need 200 terabytes for.  I just did some math... and i think thats some 52 million songs (approx 4 megs each) an 20 gig ipod will hold what? 5120 by my calculations.

I'm guessing everyone here has heard of a byte, and the kilobyte, the megabyte, the gigabyte and possibly the terrabyte but there are more... a lot more:

The Petabyte = 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes — 1024p5, or 2p50

The Exabyte = 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes — 1024p6, or 2p60

The Zettabyte = 1,180,591,620,717,411,303,424 bytes — 1024p7, or 2p70

And when you thought it couldn't get any worst: The Yottabyte = 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 bytes — 1024p8, or 2p80

p = To the power of

I didn't know there were that many bytes until I bumped into it on Wiki, thought it would make good reading

like i give a damn, lol

How many yottabytes of information are there in the world, acumulated throughout the history of man?
