Discover the true cost and scale of data storage at the petabyte level, and why "cheap storage" is a myth for enterprises handling vast amounts of unstructured data.
You would have to buy a collection of multiple high-capacity drives for 1024 PB’s. The cost for 1PB drive alone would be around $50,000 or more. Especially for an SSD. But the numbers might be all over the place.
What would 1024 petrabytes be called? 🤔
Is that not an exabyte?
Yes!
You’d probably getting angry calls from Petra because you took her bytes!
Too expensive for my blood.

Shit. I’m going to need a bigger NAS.
We all deserve a bigger NAS…
Nahhh im good, for now.
I was surprised how fast 5TB’s gets used up…
Well i added 16 at the beginning of the year…
Nice!
a good start
Exabyte! Damn son. 1024 Petabytes is 1,073,741,824 Gigabytes.
No. An exbibyte is 1024 pebibytes. An exabyte is 1000 petabytes.
An exbibyte is 1,073,741,824 gibibytes. An exabyte is 1,000,000,000 gigabytes.
These are different units.
You people are fucking nuts. One thousand twenty-four petabytes (1024) is called an exabyte (EB).
Data Scale Order:
• Kilobyte (KB): 1,000 bytes.
• Megabyte (MB): 1,000 kilobytes.
• Gigabyte (GB): 1,000 megabytes (decimal) or 1,024 megabytes (binary).
• Terabyte (TB): 1,000 or 1,024 gigabytes
• Terabyte (TB): 1,024 gigabytes
• Petabyte (PB): 1,024 terabytes
• Exabyte (EB): 1,024 petabytes (about one quintillion bytes)
• Zettabyte (ZB): 1,024 exabytes
