That would be a terabyte, which is 1 Trillion bytes, or 1,000 GB.

Terabyte, and like all the other ones (kilo, mega, giga), it can be either 1000 or 1024 times the next one down, depending on who is using it. Officially 1024 bytes is a kibibyte, 1024 kibibytes is a mebibyte, 1024 mebibytes is a gibibyte, 1024 gibibytes is a tebibyte.
Hardly anyone uses them that way (most people use mega, giga, etc. to mean 1024), but that's how it is officially.
But then you'll see companies make for example a 1 GB hard drive and it is really 1000 megabytes not 1024. And so on.

Terabyte is after gigabyte. It's 1024 gigabytes, just like 1024 megabytes make up a gigabyte.

all of the above except for Raguram's answer, typo error there. It Tera not Tetra. 10 to the power of 12 = 1 000 000 000 000

terabyte; then exabyte, etc. Techically, a terabyte is 1024 GB, not 1000.

These are described as Terrabytes. Today you can get storage devices that will hold terrabytes of information. What's above that? Petabytes....
