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.
Floppy Disk (5.25", DD) (floppy (5.25" DD))
The 5.25-inch DD floppy stored roughly 360 KB (IBM PC) or 1.2 MB (Apple II and others) depending on format. These flexible disks dominated early personal computing in the 1980s. They were physically fragile but offered an affordable way to distribute software, operating systems, and games. The vast majority of early PC software—from Lotus 1-2-3 to original DOS versions—shipped on 5.25" disks. Their shape and texture became symbols of the early PC revolution, despite their low reliability, susceptibility to dust, and limited capacity.
