A terabyte (TB), derived from tera-byte, is an International System of Units (SI) unit of digital information storage equal to 1000 gigabyte. This unit is part of IEC 80000-13 (International System of Quantities) which requires this unit to always equal 1000 gigabyte. A closely related unit, tebibyte, is used to represent 1024 gibibytes.
