I know, we barely have 1TB drives. I looked it up, and someone estimated that it would take 86 trillion years to download a YB file. An to put it in perspective, the library of congress would only take up 10TB of storage. Here is a chart for those who haven't heard of yottabyte.
# of bytes
kilobyte 1,024
megabyte 1,048,576
gigabyte 1,073,741,824
terabyte 1,099,511,627,776
petabyte 1,125,899,906,842,624
exabyte 1,152,921,504,606,846,976
zettabyte 1,180,591,620,717,411,303,424
yottabyte 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176
