<<What comes after terabytes?>>

Lottabytes??

Must be Petabytes
From the EMC thread:

EMC Becomes First To Ship A Petabyte Of Consolidated Enterprise Storage More Than One Quadrillion Bytes of Platform-Independent Storage Served
HOPKINTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 9, 1997--Highlighting its leadership role in the trend toward consolidation of massive amounts of data from disparate computer systems, EMC Corporation announced today it has shipped a record one petabyte of storage systems simultaneously connected to multiple heterogeneous computers and operating systems.
One petabyte of information (one quadrillion bytes, or 1,000 terabytes) is the equivalent of 250 billion pages of text; 20 million four-drawer filing cabinets; 500 million high-density floppy disks; 83,000 digitally stored, feature-length movies; or 1.7 million CD-ROMs of information (graphic available at www.businesswire.com).
