document.write( "Data generally uses SI (International System of Units) prefixes, basically the artist formerly known as the metric system. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Following this system, tera- is the fourth power of 1000. The prefix after tera- should be 1000^55, or peta-. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, after terabyte comes petabyte. Next is exabyte, then zettabyte and yottabyte. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "However, binary does not operate on the same scale as SI. It is measured as powers of two rather than powers of ten. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "When computer scientists first started talking in terms of large amounts of data, they just rounded to the nearest SI prefix. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Sometimes, technology manufacturers still round to powers of 1000 but are actually talking about powers of 1024 (which is 210). \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Special binary prefixes have been made up to correspond to powers of 1024 rather than 1000, but they’re not used consistently. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "When a hard drive says it has a capacity of 1 terabyte (TB), 10004, it might actually be 1 tebibyte (TiB), or 10244. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Binary prefixes go kibi-, mebi-, gibi-, tebi-, pebi-. So what comes after terabyte? Petabyte. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "But in some cases it may more accurately be called a pebibyte.\r\n" );
