An interesting article.

IDC (Seagate) predicts that the Global Datasphere will grow from 30 zettabytes in 2018 to 175 zettabytes by 2025.

 

What's a zettabyte you ask?  A zettabyte is 1,000 exabytes, and one exabyte is 1,000 petabytes. Each petabyte is 1,000 terabytes. A zettabyte is enough storage for 30 billion 4K movies, or 60 billion video games, or 7.5 trillion MP3 songs according to Seagate. If you wanted 3 zettabytes of storage at home, you'd need to hook up 300 million 10TB hard drives.

 

Incidentally, Amazon recently added petabytes (PB) to their cloudfront tiered pricing schedule.
