I *think* that's a misspelling.  The word is "exabytes".  Given its origin
in the Greek "hexa" (exa is 10^6), the pronounciation should be "eksa",
not "eka".  But I leave it to the Greek scholars among us to confirm.

Uh,  I think exabyte is 2^60 (or 10^18)  - or 1000^6 if you like the "hexa"

It's a lot, so I think I would like "eeeks-a-byte" as well, but I fear
that will be similar to "gigglebyte" (the size of virtual servers that
makes me laugh).
