13.3 years of HDTV content, that’s approximately 58,292 movies, which means an equal number of large pizzas. So one petabyte equals 52 tonnes of pepperoni pizza. Yes, my head has assploded. For more serious equivalents, check the graphic. [Mozy]
which is why your 1TB HDD only holds ~931MB data according to Windows (since Windows uses units of 1024, not 1000). Confusing and annoying figuring out who uses what!

If you wanna get technical (and correct) using international SI units, a gigabyte is 1000MB, not 1024MB, etc etc
1MB = 1000KB
1GB = 1000MB
1TB = 1000GB
1PB = 1000TB
