Slightly more - about 10% more. The prefix "Tera", when used for data storage, is often not defined as exactly 10004, but rather it is rounded to 10244. ("Rounded", because 1024 is a power of 2.)

What is a terabyte?

A terabyte is one trillion bytes (1012 = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes) in current standard usage. 1 terabyte (TB) = 1,000 gigabytes (GB) = 1,000,000 megabytes (MB) (There is a similar unit, the terabinary byte, or "tebibyte", which is 240 or 10244 = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes. However, this unit is never actually used, as hard drives are the only things that can hold this much, and they are always measured in powers of 10.)

How many zeros in 6 trillion trillion?

The number 6 trillion trillion can represent two different numbers, because there are two scales in use.The short scale is used in the US, while the long scale is still in use in some countries.The number 6 trillion trillion (short scale) is 6 x 1024, or 6 septillion, with 24 zeros.The long scale assigns number names by millions, not thousands, so 6 trillion trillionis 6 million, million, million; million, million, million or 6 x 1036 with 36 zeros.


What is the next larger value after a terabyte?

A terabyte is a trillion (short scale) bytes, 1012 bytes, or 1000 gigabytes.The four larger official prefixes are:petabyte = 1015 bytes = 1000 terabytesexabyte = 1018 byteszettabyte = 1021 bytesyottabyte = 1024 bytesFor values based on 1024 rather than 1000:tebibyte = 240 bytes = 1024 gibibytes (giga-binary-bytes)pebibyte = 250 bytesexbibyte = 260 byteszebibyte = 270 bytesyobibyte = 280 bytes

How many bytes are in Tb?

Tb could mean terabit because TB (upper case B) means terabyte. Tera could mean one trillion (1,000,000,000,000) or (when referring to RAM) two to the power of forty (1,099,511,627,776). There are eight bits in a byte so there are about one trillion bits in a terabit (Tb) and eight trillion bits in a terabyte (TB).
