About Kilobytes
A kilobyte (KB) = 1,000 bytes (SI). Used by all storage manufacturers (HDD, SSD, USB, SD) and endorsed by the IEC and FTC. Typical sizes: plain-text email 2-5 KB; HTML page 10-100 KB; Word document 10-30 KB. Ethernet MTU = 1,500 bytes ≈ 1.5 KB; jumbo frames 9 KB. MP3 at 128 kbit/s = 16 KB/s of audio. 1 KB = 1,000 bytes = 8,000 bits.
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.
