how many megabytes in a terrabyte ?

Answer 1

1,024,000 megabytes = 1 terabyte



10004 = 1012 terabyte (TB) 10244 = 240 ≈ 1.100·1012 tebibyte (TiB)

According to the SI standard and current usage, a terabyte (TB) contains 1,000,000,000,000 bytes = 10004 or 1012 bytes.

Answer 2

The actual size of a terrabyte is 1024 Gigabytes. And a Gigabyte is 1024 Megabytes.

However, it's commonly rounded down to 1000 to make the numbers a bit more palatable, but if it's the true figure you want, it's 1024.

Answer 3

ok to reduce confusion here it is:

everyone here is at least partly right. mega means 1 million, giga is 1 billion, tera 1 trillion, etc.

there are two ways of measuring this now. Computers use a binary numbering system (aka base 2), which consist of 2 numbers, 0 and 1. This is considered the standard way of measuring hard drive space.

Humans use a base 10 numbering system (0-9). Hard drive manufacturers use this to their advantage. By calling their hard drives, say, 1 terabyte hard drives they are technically correct as it does contain at least 1 trillion base 10 (or non-binary) bytes. However, since computers use a base 2 system, that new hard drive will show up a fair amount smaller of that.

To clarify this problem, a metric binary system was devised. This is the bibyte, or binary byte system.

1 megabyte = 1,000,000 non-binary bytes
1 mebibyte = 1,048,576 non-binary bytes

The short of it is that hard drive manufacturers use this trick to create confusion and to make their hard drives seem bigger than they are.

Answer 4

Vishal, the numbers are right but the commas are not - I misread it first.

1,000,000 MB

However, strictly speaking it is 1,048,576 since there are 1024 megabytes in a gigabyte and 1024 gigabytes in a terrabyte.

Answer 5

10001 = 103 kilobyte (kB) 10241 = 210 = 1.024·103 kibibyte (KiB)
10002 = 106 megabyte (MB) 10242 = 220 ≈ 1.049·106 mebibyte (MiB)
10003 = 109 gigabyte (GB) 10243 = 230 ≈ 1.074·109 gibibyte (GiB)
10004 = 1012 terabyte (TB) 10244 = 240 ≈ 1.100·1012 tebibyte (TiB)
10005 = 1015 petabyte (PB) 10245 = 250 ≈ 1.126·1015 pebibyte (PiB)
10006 = 1018 exabyte (EB) 10246 = 260 ≈ 1.153·1018 exbibyte (EiB)
10007 = 1021 zettabyte (ZB) 10247 = 270 ≈ 1.181·1021 zebibyte (ZiB)
10008 = 1024 yottabyte (YB) 10248 = 280 ≈ 1.209·1024 yobibyte (YiB

Answer 6

1 TB = 1000 GB
1 GB = 1000 MB

so 1 TB = 10,00,000 MB

Answer 7

Hey Vishal

You got a '0' in the wrong place - its 1,000,000

Answer 8

i'm going with "nick d"
that answer is the one that should get the ten points here

Answer 9

i dint know, I've not yet tried counting them. lol
