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.
DVD (1 layer, 2 side) (DVD (1L, 2S))
A single-layer, double-sided DVD offers 9.4 GB, with 4.7 GB per side, requiring the user to physically flip the disc. Double-sided DVDs were ideal in early DVD-era box sets and archival applications, but their inconvenience—no label side, no artwork, and manual flipping—limited consumer adoption. They represent a transitional form of optical media designed to increase capacity before dual-layer technologies became mainstream.
