Tebibyte
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The tebibyte is a standards-based binary multiple (prefix tebi, symbol Ti) of the byte, a unit of digital information storage. The tebibyte unit symbol is TiB.[1]
The tebibyte is closely related to the terabyte, which is defined as 1012 bytes = 1000000000000bytes, but the terabyte has been used as a synonym for tebibyte in some contexts (see binary prefix).
