About Kibibits

A kibibit (Kibit) = 2¹⁰ = 1,024 bits (IEC 80000-13) - the binary counterpart to the kilobit. Defined to eliminate ambiguity between 1,000-bit and 1,024-bit 'kilobits'. Used in FPGA/ASIC block RAM sizing (a 32 Kibit block RAM = 4,096 bytes) and JEDEC DRAM specs. RSA key lengths (e.g. '4096-bit') are exact counts, unaffected by the kib/kb distinction. 1 Kibit = 1,024 bits = 128 bytes.

About Terabytes

A terabyte (TB) = 10¹² bytes (SI). Consumer HDDs: 1-22 TB; consumer NVMe SSDs: 1-8 TB. LTO-9 tape: 18 TB/cartridge; enterprise libraries: hundreds of petabytes. Whole genome sequencing: Illumina NovaSeq 6000 run ≈ 6 TB raw FASTQ. JWST downlinks ≈ 57 GB/day (≈20 TB/year). 4K NVR (64 cameras) ≈ 1 TB/day. 1 TB = 10¹² bytes = 1,000 GB.
