· 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.
