About Megabytes
A megabyte (MB) = 1,000,000 bytes (SI). Used by all storage manufacturers and by macOS (since 10.6), iOS, and Android. Typical file sizes: JPEG photo (50 MP) = 8-20 MB; 3-min MP3 at 128 kbit/s ≈ 2.9 MB; Android productivity APK 10-150 MB; full-frame RAW photo (Sony A7R V, 61 MP) 60-120 MB. H.264/H.265 achieves 30-100× compression vs. raw video. 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes = 1,000 KB.
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.
