Terabyte in white lettering on a tablet screen.

A tbyte, terabyte, or TB equals 1,099,511,627,776 (240) bytes. However, the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) defines a TB equals 1,000,000,000,000 (1012) bytes. Therefore, a TB could be equal to either of these values.

Tip

When the "b" is lowercase (Tb), this refers to a terabit.

What comes before a terabyte?

A gigabyte comes before a terabyte.

What comes after a terabyte?

A petabyte comes after a terabyte.

Terabyte vs. other data measurements

Below is a listing of terabyte values where a terabyte is considered 1,000,000,000,000 (1012) bytes. Using this chart, you can find how many terabytes are in other measurements. For example, you can see 1,000 terabytes in a petabyte. For measurements that are smaller than a terabyte, the decimal value is shown.

Tip

See our (tebibyte) definition for a listing of gigabyte values where a terabyte equals 1,099,511,627,776 (240) bytes.
