Terabyte (10^12 Bytes)
A terabyte (TB) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^12 bytes, commonly used to measure data storage capacity.
History/Origin
The term 'terabyte' was introduced in the 1990s as storage capacities increased, following the adoption of the binary prefix 'tera' from the metric system, though it is often used in decimal form for storage devices.
Current Use
Terabytes are widely used today to quantify data storage in hard drives, solid-state drives, data centers, and cloud storage services, reflecting large-scale data capacities.
Byte
A byte (B) is a unit of digital information that typically consists of eight bits and is used to represent a single character in computer systems.
History/Origin
The byte was introduced in the early days of computer architecture to standardize the amount of data used to encode a character. It became a fundamental unit in data storage and processing, evolving alongside advancements in computing technology.
Current Use
Bytes are used to measure and specify data size in computer memory, storage devices, and data transfer rates. They form the basis for larger units like kilobytes, megabytes, and gigabytes, and are essential in programming, data management, and digital communication.
