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.
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.
