What do we call 1000GB?

well, if you look at it like a computer HD manufaturer does, it works out to be:

1000 GB = 0.9094947017729282379150390625 TB

(1000 GB * 1000 MB * 1000 KB * 1000 Bytes) / (1 TB * 1024 GB * 1024 MB * 1024 KB * 1024 Bytes)

(damn, we're such geeks)

<< Man, hard drives are getting larger so quickly. I remember when a 2GB hard drive was $250+! Now I can get something like 60GB for that price. Crazy. I think I'd want dual 60GB though (I'm still on 20, thinking of upgrading in a month or two).

Lol for $250, you can get a 120gb hdd bro >>



Doh, beat me to it. But yeah. Actually, for 243$, you can get a 160gb hdd. The 120 is only 182$.

<< hahaha, they should change the last one to yattabyte!! >>




Damn! Just totally forgot about Yatta and now you make me think about it again

My first full PC, an IBM PS/1, had a 40MB hard drive. That was $300.
A couple years later I bought a 1GB SCSI hard drive for $1000. Those were the days. "Man what the HELL are you going to do with 1 Gigabyte?? You could store, like, EVERYTHING on it!!"

 

[Electrode]

1000 gigabytes (GB) = 1 terabyte (TB)
1024 gibibytes (GiB) = 1 tebibyte (TiB)

The only thing that can be correctly called a "gigabyte" is the decimal-based unit. The binary one is called a "gibibyte".

<< actually we call it 1000 gigabytes or 24 gigabytes short of a terabyte.
Remember, with bytes, they're not multiples of ten.
1024 KB = 1 MB
1024 MB = 1 GB
1024 GB = 1 TB >>


You know, he's right...

Exacty, they're increasing so fast people don't even know WHAT they can get anymore

<< As hard drive size getting 100GB already, how do we call 1000GB? >>



10^12 bytes, but manufactures would like to call it 1TB


1 Terabyte is 1024GB. woohoo whole 24GB of difference.

Linkified

Bit = Value of 0 or 1
Nibble = 4 bits
Byte = 8 bits
KB(Kilobit) = 1,024 bytes
MB(Megabyte) = 1,024 Kilobytes or 1,048,576 Bytes
GB(Gigabyte) = 1,024 Megabytes or 1,073,741, 824 Bytes
TB(Terabyte) = One Trillion bytes or 1,099,511,627,776
PB (Petabyte) = 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes
EB(Exabyte) = One quintillion bytes or about 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes in decimal
ZB (Zetabyte) = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes
YB (Yottabyte) = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes

It sounds right although I really thought KB was kilobytes...

Why did you switch to each change in unit=1,000 instead of 1,024 like you're supposed to starting at petabyte?

We'll can put it to use when a movie start consuming 200 gigabyte.

1TB great. I seriously hope it can be used efficiently, meaning ability to capture video like a VCR or even DVD based VCR(is it out in USA yet? It was very hot on eBay) without giving your whole computer's power. I'm sure you could use that to record HDTV or D-VHS quality video in extended play mode. We'll love it, but I'm sure RIAA, Disney and such will cry. (By the way, Dinsey SUED SONY(and/or JVC) because they thought video taping for later watching was violating their intellectural property)
