If bytes were dollars, then a Petabyte would be the equivalent of a Trillion Dollars.

While it’s not very conceivable that any of us will ever be Trillionaires – Owning a Petabyte is another story. A PetaByte is the equivalent of 1000 Terabytes(Don’t crap in your pants…yet). Now you might not even know what a Terabyte is so I’m going to tell you what a Terabyte is: A terabyte is 1000 Gigabytes.

Which means that a Petabyte is 1,048,576 gigabytes. Now what is that in terms of Data? How about 13 years of HD TV nonstop! That’s 209,715,200 songs (if you even know that many songs I truly admire you). Maybe you can wrap your mind around 10 Billion Images on Facebook that’s a Petabyte.

(Now you can commence crapping in your pants, hopefully you’re wearing ‘Oops I Crapped my Pants’ an SNL product)

Now what if you could own a Petabyte harddrive for only $700? (It will be a reality before long) Heck I’d settle for a 200 terabyte hard drive lol  – I’m not greedy.

Here’s a nice visual that I found on Gizmodo which they found via Mozy.
