That's 94 characters.
6 chars:
94^6 = 689,869,781,056 different combinations.
689,869,781,056 combinations * 6 characters per combination = 4,139,218,686,336 total characters (1 character = 1 byte) = 4,139,218,686,336 total bytes.
That's 4.1 TB.
7 chars:
94^7 = 64,847,759,419,264 different combinations.
64847759419264 combinations * 7 characters per combination = 453,934,315,934,848 total characters = 453,934,315,934,848 total bytes.
That's 453.9 TB.

This can be represented as a summation:
This evaluates to 600,507,702 yottabytes (giga, tera, peta, exa, zetta, yotta, no more official SI prefixes after yotta (10^24))
------------
Even if you discount symbols and only use lowercase characters, that's only 36 characters (a-z, 0-9) which would still requires 130 yottabytes.[DOUBLEPOST=1497036071][/DOUBLEPOST]
Not sure what math you did, but using a-z, A-Z, 0-9 (62 characters), there would be 62^6 = 56,800,235,584 combinations of 6-character passwords. 56,800,235,584 combinations * 6 characters per combination = 340,801,413,504 bytes = 340 GB, just for the 6-character passwords.
