  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Yottabyte
An SI prefix (also known as a metric prefix) is a name or associated symbol that precedes a unit of measure (or its symbol) to form a decimal multiple or submultiple.
A yottabyte is a unit of measurement in computers of approximately one million million million million (American septillion) bytes.
The yottabyte is the largest unit of measurement for computer data, consisting of 1,024 zettabytes.

 Yottabyte - Definition, explanation
A yottabyte (derived from the SI prefix yotta-) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to one septillion (one long scale quadrillion) bytes.
That is, Avogadro's number is almost a "round number" in binary, and a (binary) yottabyte is approximately 2.01 × Avogadro's number of bytes.
Humorously, it can be said that a (binary) yottabyte is about 2 moles of bytes.

Because of a traditional inconsistency, "yottabytes" are often intended to mean yobibytes in common speech.

 ABC NewsRadio: wordwatch, Yottabyte
And it appears that the largest number they have yet come up with a word for is a “yottabyte”.
The “yottabyte” may unfamiliar, because the biggest computer number we commonly come across is the “terabyte” (that’s ten to the power of 12, or one followed by 12 zeroes).
Smaller than a “terabyte” are such common words as “megabyte” and “gigabyte” — and in between a “terabyte” and a massive “yottabyte” are such large numbers as a “petabyte”, an “exabyte”, and a “zettabyte”.

Other ways to look at a yottabyte are that it is 2 to the 80th power bytes, or 10 to the 24th power bytes, or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes.
I have no doubt we will have lots of yottabytes of meta data.
P.S. You can find some interesting information about the origins of the yottabyte in the wikipedia.

Currently, the largest named measure of data is the yottabyte (YB), which is exponentially greater than the zettabyte, exabyte, petabyte, terabyte, and so on.
The yottabyte is approximately equal to 5X * 10^6, where X is equal to all printed matter that exists on our planet.
The highest-density digital tape (which is the highest-density medium currently in common use) made by one of the world's leading manufacturers stores data at a density of 124,000 bpi (bits-per-inch).

 Just In Case It's Needed - Worse Than Failure   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Yes, that's right, "just in case someone needs more than 1000 yottabytes!" Those of us lucky enough to have a terabyte are 1,000,000,000,000 times short of a yottabyte.
And to put the storage into perspective, 1 yottabyte is about 2 moles of bytes, which given 1 molecule per bit storage would fit rather handily in something weighing 16-32 grams.
The extra code to make it support Yottabytes is minimal, and I do not think it would degrade performance (it's not likely to be the root cause of a lot of cache misses or page faults).

At present the code mostly relies on PRMan to expand the geometry in an optimal manner, but it still serves as a nice DSO example.
For those not familiar with a YottaByte, the order of names is kilo (2^10), mega (2^20), giga (2^30), tera (2^40), peta (2^50), exa (2^60), zetta (2^70), and yotta (2^80).
A yottabyte can also mean 10^24, but in relative terms it is still pretty close to 2^80 which is 1.209e24.

If one would commit a single byte of information to store the location of every atom contained in the body of a human, it would require about 5,900 yottabytes.

The term yobibyte has been coined (though is not official) which is a non-ambiguous term for this meaning.

To quantify this, it is over 200,000 times more data than all of the words every spoken by human beings and over 5.3 million times more data than all existing printed material on the planet.
Since a kilobyte is actually 1024 (2^10) bytes, not 1000, a completely separate set of prefixes were developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission in 1998 to differ between things in powers of 10 and powers of 2.
A yottabyte would actually be only 1000000000000000000000000 bytes, falling 208925819614629174706176 or 208.9 zettabytes short.

 Word Spy - yottabyte
"In ten years, the volume of online data accessible either on the Internet or on corporate networks is expected to approach a yottabyte, or 1 trillion terabytes."
Since a kilobyte is actually 1,024 bytes, a megabyte is 1,024 kilobytes, and so on, the above numbers don't accurately reflect the exact byte values represented by each unit.
To put this in some perspective (or not), it would take approximately 86 trillion years to download a 1-yottabyte file, and the entire contents of the Library of Congress would consume a mere 10 terabytes.
