What is bigger than a yottabyte?

Does a yottabyte even exist?

  • My autocorrect decided to form the word petabyte so I looked it up and apparently it's a thousand terabytes, but also that there's multiple data measurements even higher. The largest being a yottabyte which has 10^24 bytes. Does something like that even exist? If so, what does it exist as? If not, why is there even a measurement that high?

  • Answer:

    The way things are going, you'll need a yottabyte of storage space to install Windows 14.

In theory it exists. No such storage capacity exists. So why does it exist? The "yotta" part is just the prefix from the SI unit of measure. Because it's not like Mega and Kilo are only used for bytes. Like kilometer, or megaton. They're just SI prefixes for certain numbers. So Yotta just happens to be the prefix for 10^24.
