About Tebibytes
A tebibyte (TiB) = 2⁴⁰ bytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes (IEC 80000-13). Storage management tools (Hadoop HDFS, Ceph, ZFS) report in TiB. A 16-drive NAS with 20 TB drives in RAID 6 has ≈252 TiB usable. RAID 5 rebuild at 200 MB/s for a 16 TiB drive takes ≈25 hours (risk window). Cloud archive storage (S3 Glacier) costs ≈$0.001/GB-month. 1 TiB = 2⁴⁰ bytes = 1,024 GiB.
About Bits
The bit (b) is the fundamental unit of digital information - a single binary digit: 0 or 1. Coined by John Tukey in 1948; formalised by Claude Shannon. Physically realised as transistor states (SRAM/DRAM), magnetic domains (HDD), charge levels in NAND flash (MLC=2, TLC=3, QLC=4 bits per cell). Shannon entropy: a coin flip = 1 bit; a card drawn from a 52-card deck ≈ 5.7 bits. 1 bit = 1/4 nibble = 1/8 byte.
