To find the total storage after purchasing an additional 384,000,000,000 bytes, we start with the original storage and add the additional bytes.

  1. The original storage: \[ 1.28 \times 10^{11} \text{ bytes} \]

  2. The additional storage: \[ 384,000,000,000 \text{ bytes} = 3.84 \times 10^{11} \text{ bytes} \]

  3. Now add the two amounts together: \[ 1.28 \times 10^{11} + 3.84 \times 10^{11} = (1.28 + 3.84) \times 10^{11} = 5.12 \times 10^{11} \text{ bytes} \]

Thus, the total storage after adding the additional bytes is: \[ \boxed{5.12 \times 10^{11}} \]
