A terabyte (TB) is a measure of computer storage capacity that is 2 to the 40th power or approximately a trillion bytes (that is, a thousand gigabytes). The prefix tera is derived from the Greek word for monster.
Hitachi began selling 1-terabyte hard drives to consumers in 2007. (Today, consumers can purchase a 1-terabyte external hard drive for around RM500.) A one terabyte drive can hold:472 hours of broadcast quality video. 150 hours of hi-definition recording.
For readers who are still wondering how big is this 1 Terabyte capacity. Remember those USB pen drives of yours? Some are 512kb,1 G or 4G, the largest capacity for USB pen drives now is 16G.
# 1000 unit of 1G pen drives = 1 Terabyte. . Amazing huh?
