I am always impressed when I ask Google a question it is like having the "magic mirror on the wall" AKA Snowhite, how many bytes does it store compared with our brains?

We looked at a question a bit similar to this a few years ago that sought to explore "What is the memory or brain capacity of a human in Terabytes?" - which might be worth a read

But in short, our brains can keep thousands of terabytes in our heads. Trust me, the numbers are huge.
