Key Points

A Terabyte (TB) is a unit of digital information storage that is commonly used in computing and data storage.
1 Terabyte is equal to 1024 Gigabytes (GB).
This is because the binary system is used in computing, where 1 KB = 1024 bytes, 1 MB = 1024 KB, 1 GB = 1024 MB, and so on.
Terabytes are often used to measure large data storage capacities, such as hard drives or cloud storage systems.

Additional Information

Important Terms:
- Kilobyte (KB): A unit of data equal to 1024 bytes in binary terms (or 1000 bytes in decimal terms).
- Megabyte (MB): A unit of data equal to 1024 Kilobytes in binary terms (or 1,000,000 bytes in decimal terms).
- Gigabyte (GB): A unit of data equal to 1024 Megabytes in binary terms (or 1,000,000,000 bytes in decimal terms).
- Terabyte (TB): A unit of data equal to 1024 Gigabytes in binary terms (or 1,000,000,000,000 bytes in decimal terms).
- Binary System vs Decimal System: The binary system (base 2) is used in computing, where storage is calculated in multiples of 1024. The decimal system (base 10) is often used for marketing purposes, where storage is calculated in multiples of 1000.
