Can I have a list of how big each are, in order? And maybe the something that would be that size for each amount? Preferably a list and not a link, please.

    No idea, Google servers maybe? But I doubt you'll need figures like that for home use for a long time yet unless you like storing every film and every bit of music ever made ( and keep backups ) :-)

    Without going to that link I see:

    total data stored... 295 exabytes

    LOL! So all the storage in the world is only 295 EB...

    Thanks. I have never seen anything larger than a few terabytes used for anything, and that was the entire storage of a computer. What could possibly be more than a terabyte for normal everyday use?
