Gigabyte
A gigabyte (GB) is a unit of digital information equal to one billion bytes, commonly used to measure data storage capacity.
History/Origin
The gigabyte was introduced in the 1970s as part of the binary prefix system, initially representing 2^30 bytes (1,073,741,824 bytes). Over time, it has also been used to denote decimal gigabytes of 10^9 bytes, especially in marketing storage devices.
Current Use
Gigabytes are widely used today to quantify storage capacity of computers, smartphones, and other digital devices, as well as data transfer limits and file sizes in various applications.
Terabyte (10^12 Bytes)
A terabyte (TB) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^12 bytes, commonly used to measure data storage capacity.
History/Origin
The term 'terabyte' was introduced in the 1990s as storage capacities increased, following the adoption of the binary prefix 'tera' from the metric system, though it is often used in decimal form for storage devices.
Current Use
Terabytes are widely used today to quantify data storage in hard drives, solid-state drives, data centers, and cloud storage services, reflecting large-scale data capacities.
