Petabyte: Get Used to the Word

Filed in archive RFID Basics on June 3, 2004

From Paul Golding's Weblog on Wireless:
"...an emerging-technology expert from Deloittes produced a figure from Walmart that the expected daily data flow from RFID tags will be 2.6 Petabytes.

Naturally, none of us has heard of a Petabyte, but it sounds like a big number. It is actually 2 to the 50th power (1,125,899,906,842,624) bytes. A Petabyte is equal to 1,024 terabytes, which itself is still a big number. The library of Congress contains seven Petabytes of information...."
