Assuming your netbook has a 32 GB SSD, and that drive capacity doubles every two years, 2099. Assuming that SSD prices drop dramatically and you have a 512 GB SSD (still this year), 2091.

In other words: not for a long, long time.

The real question is: how could you possibly generate a yottabyte of data?
