Q134 (CISF/2018) Science & Technology › ICT, AI, Cybersecurity & Emerging Tech

One Terabyte (TB) of memory storage is equal to

Explanation

In computer science and digital storage, memory capacity is traditionally measured using the binary system (base 2). Each unit is 210 (1024) times the size of the preceding unit. The hierarchy of standard data storage units is as follows:

  • 1 Kilobyte (KB) = 1024 Bytes
  • 1 Megabyte (MB) = 1024 Kilobytes
  • 1 Gigabyte (GB) = 1024 Megabytes
  • 1 Terabyte (TB) = 1024 Gigabytes
  • 1 Petabyte (PB) = 1024 Terabytes

Therefore, 1 TB is equal to 1024 Gigabytes. While the International System of Units (SI) defines 'tera' as 1012 (10004), in the context of computer memory and operating systems, the binary interpretation (10244) is the standard convention used in most competitive examinations.
