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.
Gigabit (Gb)
A gigabit is 1,000,000,000 bits, commonly used to describe modern network speeds, such as 1 Gbps Ethernet, fiber-optic connections, and high-speed wireless systems. Gigabit connections revolutionized both home and enterprise computing by enabling rapid file transfers, cloud computing, and high-definition streaming. As speeds continue to increase—10, 40, 100 Gbps and beyond—the gigabit becomes a foundational stepping stone in the evolution of networking capability. The Gb illustrates how rapidly communication technology has scaled compared to physical storage.
