TB
TB is the acronym for Terabyte.
Terabyte
In computing, a byte is a unit of digital information, typically 8 bits. Each bit can be either a 0 or a 1, and when grouped in sets of 8, they represent a single byte. A byte can represent a small amount of information, such as a single character, or a larger amount of information, such as a small image or a section of text.
The prefixes kilo (abbreviated as K), mega (abbreviated as M), giga (abbreviated as G), tera (abbreviated as T), and peta (abbreviated as P) are used to describe larger units of digital information, as follows:
| Name | Abbreviation | Bytes |
|---|---|---|
| Kilobyte | Kb | 1,024 |
| Megabyte | Mb | 1,048,576 |
| Gigabyte | Gb | 1,073,741,824 |
| Terabyte | Tb | 1,099,511,627,776 |
| Petabyte | Pb | 1,125,899,906,842,624 |
The prefixes can describe the size of digital files or the storage space on a device. For example, a 5 MB image file is 5 megabytes, and a hard drive with a capacity of 1 TB can store up to 1 terabyte of data.
