Not that may, and you still don't need 256 bits for it. Let's say that there
are 500,000,000 computers, each with 8 GB of disk space. This is somewhat
more
than we have now, but it won't be long before we do. 62 bits are
sufficient to
address each byte of disk space. 64 bits is enough to address each byte of 1
billion 16GB disks.
