About these units
Terabyte (10^12 bytes) (TB (10^12))
A decimal terabyte equals 1 trillion bytes, a unit that defines modern large-capacity storage devices—from consumer HDDs to enterprise backup systems. The distinction between binary (1.099 trillion bytes) and decimal terabytes becomes especially noticeable at this scale. Disk manufacturers universally use decimal TB, while many file systems report binary values unless specifically configured otherwise. Terabytes represent massive datasets, enabling high-resolution video libraries, large backups, and entire scientific databases.
Exabit (Eb)
An exabit is 10¹⁸ bits, used in ultra-large-scale networking, such as intercontinental fiber systems, data-center connectivity, and internet backbone capacity projections. Although no single consumer device operates at this scale, network engineers and futurists use exabit terminology to describe the explosive growth of global internet traffic. The exabit embodies the shift toward planetary-scale communication infrastructures, reflecting humanity's increasing dependence on rapid, high-bandwidth connectivity.
