tera–
pref.
One trillion (10 exp12): terahertz.
1,099,511,627,776 (2 exp40): terabyte.
[From Greek teras, monster.]

Trillion (10 to the 12th power). Abbreviated "T." It often refers to the precise value 1,099,511,627,776 since computer specifications are usually binary numbers.

TB
(1) (TB) (TeraByte) One trillion bytes (technically 1,099,511,627,776 bytes). See tera and space/time.

(2) (Tb) (TeraBit) One trillion bits (technically 1,099,511,627,776 bits). Lower case "b" for bit and "B" for byte are not always followed and often misprinted. Thus, Tb may refer to terabyte. See tera and space/time.

A terabyte is a measure of computer storage capacity and is 2 to the 40th power or approximately a thousand billion bytes (that is, a thousand gigabytes).
