a petabyte. then an exabyte, a zettabyte and a yottabyte. (and no, i didn't make that up although it does sound silly!)

as for floppy's, it's good to always have a USB floppy drive handy.

Damm:shocked: Zettabyte will be like trillions hardly used as its too big.

But then as is so often said size doesn't matter..it's what you do with it that counts.;)

Very true its how you work it, USB drive that is ;)

a Zettabyte is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes or 1,180,591,620,717,411,303,424 bytes if your proper.

although I heard a rumour that VM were starting to trial a 'up to' 20 yottabyte connection.

I remember showing off my massive 1.2gig Quantum Bigfoot not so many years ago.
I then wondered if I would ever get close to filling the thing!

Today I have 430gig of boot aray and just under 500gig of storage array.

lol, the bigfoots where those 5.25" hdds arent they? I only ever saw one, it was a 12GB I think and at the time we thought we could never fill it. I had 3.2GB at the time and with all my stuff installed etc I could only use about 75%.

Hmmm.. just big enough to carry a copy of Windows 2020 "Vision" ;)
