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", HD) (floppy (5.25" HD))
The 5.25-inch HD floppy stored 1.2 MB and represented the final evolution of the large-format floppy. HD versions were common in late-1980s IBM business systems and were used to distribute larger software packages and operating systems. However, the rise of the more compact and durable 3.5" floppy soon overshadowed the HD 5.25" format. Their rapid decline highlights how the industry moved toward miniaturization and higher reliability in portable storage.
