    1024^8 = 1208925819614629174706176

    2^80 = 1208925819614629174706176

    1208925819614629174706176 = 1 yobibyte

    10^24 = 1000000000000000000000000

    1000^8 = 1000000000000000000000000

    1000000000000000000000000 = 1 Yottabyte

    See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yottabyte

    The IEC standards all now refer to Kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes etc. being 1000^x. 1024^x is now refered to as a kibibyte, mebibyte, gibibyte etc.
