Megabyte
A megabyte (MB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,048,576 bytes or 10^6 bytes in decimal notation, commonly used to measure data storage capacity.
History/Origin
The term 'megabyte' originated in the 1960s with the advent of computer storage and data measurement. Initially, it was based on powers of two (1,048,576 bytes), but in the late 20th century, it also came to be used in decimal form (1,000,000 bytes) for marketing storage devices.
Current Use
Today, megabytes are used to quantify data sizes in computing, such as file sizes, storage capacities, and data transfer rates. The binary definition (1,048,576 bytes) is often used in computing contexts, while the decimal definition (1,000,000 bytes) is common in marketing and consumer electronics.
Terabit
A terabit (Tb) is a unit of digital information equal to one trillion bits (10^12 bits).
History/Origin
The term 'terabit' was introduced as digital storage and data transfer rates increased, following the adoption of the metric system for data units. It became common in networking and high-capacity storage contexts during the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Current Use
Terabits are used to measure data transfer speeds in high-speed networks, internet bandwidth, and large-scale data storage systems, especially in contexts requiring rapid data transmission and large capacity assessments.
