What is the next larger value after a terabyte?

In: Computer Terminology [Edit categories]

Answer:

A terabyte is a trillion (short scale) bytes, 10¹² bytes, or 1000 gigabytes.

The four larger official prefixes are:

petabyte = 10¹⁵ bytes = 1000 terabytes
exabyte = 10¹⁸ bytes
zettabyte = 10²¹ bytes
yottabyte = 10²⁴ bytes

For values based on 1024 rather than 1000:

tebibyte = 2⁴⁰ bytes = 1024 gibibytes (giga-binary-bytes)
pebibyte = 2⁵⁰ bytes
exbibyte = 2⁶⁰ bytes
zebibyte = 2⁷⁰ bytes
yobibyte = 2⁸⁰ bytes
