About these units
Terabyte (TB)
A terabyte equals 1,099,511,627,776 bytes (2⁴⁰) in binary or 1 trillion bytes in decimal. Terabytes are associated with large-scale data storage: cloud drives, archival systems, scientific datasets, game installations, and high-definition video libraries. Modern personal computers often include terabyte-level drives, and enterprise systems may contain thousands of terabytes. The TB marks the boundary where storage becomes "big data," enabling machine learning training sets, genomic databases, and detailed satellite imagery archives. At this scale, efficient data management, compression, and redundancy become critical challenges.
CD (80 minute) (CD (80 min))
The 80-minute CD expanded storage to 700 MB, offering a modest but meaningful increase over the 74-minute version. This capacity became the industry standard for audio production, software, and media distribution. The slightly denser data-spacing required careful calibration but proved reliable for most computer and consumer hardware. For many users, CD-R and CD-RW discs became a primary means of personal backups, music burning, and long-term storage before USB drives became widespread.
