1024 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte = 1180591620717411303424 or 2^70 bytes
1024 Zettabytes = 1 Yottabye = 1208925819614629174706176 or 2^80 bytes
afaik, there is no prefix above Yotta
so lets look now, changing 1KB = 1024 B to 1000 B
1 TB = 1099511627776 B
1 TB = 1000000000000 B
99511627776 B = ~ 92.6 GB
1 YB = 1208925819614629174706176 B
1 YB = 1000000000000000000000000 B
208925819614629174706176 B = ~194577332227145.5 GB (extreme I know, but completely valid mathmatically)
