Terabyte hard drives

Seeing as Giga should be pronounced Jiga, I'm sure we can change the pronounciation some how and have it sound good.
 
Hmm, Ter sounds like someones name though. Chris meet Ter, Ter meet Chris.
I think I'll stick with using TeraByte and TB (I pronounce it TeeBee)
 
It'll stay gig for a while. "I've got a 1500 gig hard drive." But eventually, that'll get too unwieldly. Eventually people will give in and say it properly, "I've got a 1.5 TB hard drive".

Of course, think of the rash of threads that we will have: "My 2.0 TB hard drive is only reporting 1.8 TB in Windows". Since hard drive manufacuters will continue to use the proper 1000^3 definition and Windows will continue to use the incorrect 1024^3 definition. The error will be a full 10% in the TB range.
