    Metric appears to end at 10^30, but even then, I think the better way to phrase that number would be 5,000 quetta-bytes

    Tera = 10^12; Septillion = 10^21 Source

      *500 000 quettabytes
      *Sextillion = 10^21 ( = Zetta)

      I’d recommend wikipedia here, your source seems to have taken 3 years to update their table and their image is still outdated.

      They likely didn’t use quetta because it was only added 3 years ago, and is still not widely known. Or maybe it sounded better.
