Terabyte
A terabyte (TB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 gigabytes or 1,000,000 megabytes, commonly used to measure data storage capacity.
History/Origin
The term 'terabyte' was introduced in the 1980s as storage capacities increased, with early uses in computer science and data storage industries. It became more widespread with the advent of large-scale data storage solutions and advancements in digital technology.
Current Use
Today, terabytes are widely used to quantify storage capacity in hard drives, solid-state drives, data centers, and cloud storage services, reflecting the growing need for large data handling in personal and enterprise computing.
Megabyte (10^6 Bytes)
A megabyte (MB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000,000 bytes (10^6 bytes).
History/Origin
The term 'megabyte' was introduced in the 1960s with the advent of computer storage, initially representing 1,048,576 bytes (2^20), but the decimal definition of 1,000,000 bytes became common in the context of data storage and marketing.
Current Use
Today, the megabyte is used to measure data size in contexts such as file sizes, storage capacities, and data transfer rates, with the decimal definition (10^6 bytes) being standard in most commercial and marketing applications.
