Yeah. it's tera first, then "peta". I don't know if peda has really been accepted as a proper replacement for "peta" but I've heard people use it. You may have heard it too, which is why you have it typed that way, but plenty of others have typed it that way too.
Here's an expanded list as far as I know:
kilo > mega > giga > tera > peta > exa > zetta > zotta (yotta?) > bronto
Bronto is like sextillion bytes though, and I don't think the entirety of the storage space in the world takes up more than a few hundred exabytes right now, so we got a ways to go.
I pulled most of this from a thread with this interesting tidbit:
Hiroyuki Goto, 21, the current world record holder for the most digits of Pi memorized, required over nine hours to recite 42000+ digits.
