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.
Exabyte (10^18 bytes) (EB (10^18))
A decimal exabyte equals exactly 1 quintillion bytes, and it is the standard for expressing large-scale cloud storage and global data production metrics. Industry analysts estimate that total global digital data now exceeds multiple decimal exabytes per year, driven by IoT devices, streaming services, AI workloads, and high-resolution media. The decimal exabyte serves as a measure of humanity's digital footprint, making it one of the most symbolic data units of the information age.
