· 1 Bit = Binary Digit
· 8 Bits = 1 Byte
· 1000 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte
· 1000 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
· 1000 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
· 1000 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte
· 1000 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte
· 1000 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte -
· 1000 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte
· 1000 Zettabyte = 1 Zottabyte
· 1000 Zottabyte = 1 Brontobyte

Later in the doc reference to 1024 bytes = 1 Kilobyte is made for the sake of accuracy. The examples of data matching size classification is also entertaining.
