kilobyte (2 to the 10th power, slightly more than 10 to the 3rd power)
megabyte (2 to the 20th power, slightly more than 10 to the 6th power)
gigabyte (2 to the 30th power, slightly more than 10 to the 9th power)
terabyte (2 to the 40th power, slightly more than 10 to the 12th power)
petabyte (2 to the 50th power, slightly more than 10 to the 15th power)
exabyte (2 to the 60th power, slightly more than 10 to the 18th power)
zettabyte (2 to the 70th power, slightly more than 10 to the 21st power)
yottabyte (2 to the 80th power, slightly more than 10 to the 24th power)

In computers, a kilobyte is 1024 bytes, not 1000,
because 1024 is a power of 2.

Then there's the Brontobyte - always the next order of magnitude beyond
the largest defined by standards.
