1 tb equals to

Answer 1

1 tb = 1 terabyte, though sometimes 1 terabit when used with the lower case.

1 terabit is 1,000,000,000,000 bits.

1 terabyte has two values:

- 1,000,000,000,000 bytes: usually used only for unformatted HD capacity.

- 1,099,511,627,776 (2^40) bytes: describe available disk space, file size and other uses.


The term has two definitions, both valid, both used in the computer industry. The correct definition depends on how it is used.
