Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A yottabyte is the largest unit approved as a standard size by the International System of Units (SI). The yottabyte is about 1 septillion bytes–or, as an integer, 1, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 bytes. The storage volume is equivalent to a quadrillion gigabytes (GB) or a million trillion megabytes.

Detailed explanation-2: -A petabyte is a measure of memory or data storage capacity that is equal to 2 to the 50th power of bytes. There are 1, 024 terabytes (TB) in a petabyte and approximately 1, 024 PB make up one exabyte.

Detailed explanation-3: -Giga-means 1, 000, 000, 000; a Gigabyte is a billion bytes. Tera-means 1, 000, 000, 000, 000; a Terabyte is a trillion bytes. Peta-means 1, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000; a Petabyte is 1, 000 Terabytes. Exa-means 1, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000; an Exabyte is 1, 000 Petabytes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The abbreviation for exabyte is ‘EB’. It contains 10^18 bytes. Besides, it is synonyms to exbibytes which contains 2^60 bytes. The exabyte unit is so large that it does not even measure the storage of large cloud servers.
