*500 000 quettabytes
*Sextillion = 10^21 ( = Zetta)

I'd recommend wikipedia here, your source seems to have taken 3 years to update their table and their image is still outdated.

They likely didn't use quetta because it was only added 3 years ago, and is still not widely known. Or maybe it sounded better.

Derp, that's what happens when you have to bounce between too many pages on mobile.

Thanks for the pointer!
