Yahoo! would hold around 500 perabytes

Yahoo servers are in the terabyte range.
The progression is as follows:
kilobyte (kB)
megabyte (MB)
gigabyte (GB)
terabyte (TB)
petabyte (PB)
exabyte (EB)
zettabyte (ZB)
yottabyte (YB)
As a point if reference, 1 kB is 1024 bytes, whereas 1 YB is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes.

taz c the smallest is a bit, there are 8 bits in a byte. or there are 4 bits in a nibble (i kid ye not) so there are 2 nibbles in a byte. sounds bizzare but it is true

by SI standards its peta, exa, zetta, yotta-byte.
Those are the ones based on 1000 by SI standard.

I think the next level up after 'tera' is 'peta'

You forgot the smallest one, which is simply a byte!!! (Fancy a byte to eat?!).
