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.
Floppy Disk (3.5", Hd)
A 3.5-inch high-density floppy disk is a magnetic storage medium used for data storage and transfer, typically holding up to 1.44 MB of data.
History/Origin
Introduced in the late 1980s, the 3.5-inch HD floppy disk became a standard for portable data storage, replacing earlier 5.25-inch disks. It was widely used until the rise of USB drives and cloud storage in the early 2000s.
Current Use
Modern usage of 3.5-inch HD floppy disks is virtually obsolete, limited to archival purposes, vintage computing, and collectors' items. They are rarely used in contemporary data storage solutions.
