I stumbled across a cool web page that states that a yottabyte is everything there is to know. I thought it was neat, and then I wanted to show Nathan. When I couldn't find it easily, that's when I knew it had to go on the blog.
The site didn't seem very fancy (meaning it might die before blogspot does), so I have reproduced the page below. Here's the link to the original page: http://www.uplink.freeuk.com/data.html
