RE: One Peta Byte = ??

I would think that powers of 2 would be more appropriate.

Easier to remember too! :)

kilobyte  = 2^10
megabyte  = 2^20
gigabyte  = 2^30
terabyte  = 2^40
petabyte  = 2^50
exabyte   = 2^60
zettabyte = 2^70
yottabyte = 2^80

And and interesting perspective at http://www.ccsf.caltech.edu/~roy/dataquan/
