On: A Yottabyte of Storage Per Year by 2013

Considering the fact that I'm just a regular user who doesn't run a server or data centre or anything particular storage intensive (relatively speaking) and I bought a 1TB (1000GB) last year, I'm wondering whether this claim is as "WOW!" as it appears to be on the surface. Surely there's at least 1 million users (1 million x 1 thousand = 1 billion GB, or 1 yottabyte) who've bought a 1TB hard drive? Or even 10 million who've bought 100GB hard drives. And this is just home users mind you. There must be thousands, if not millions, of companies around the world with servers and data centres with plenty of gigabytes of storage being purchased every year. 1 million 1TB drives would be an Exabyte. A Yottabyte would be 1 million times that. 1000 TB = petabyte, 1000 PB = exabyte, 1000 EB = Zettabyte, 1000 ZB = Yottabyte
