Conversion Formula
PB = TB × 0.001
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.
About Petabytes
A petabyte (PB) = 10¹⁵ bytes (SI). Major platforms operate at PB scale: Meta ingests > 4 PB/day; YouTube adds several PB of video content daily. CERN Run 3 produced ≈ 90 PB in 2022. 1,000-genome cohort (WGS at 30×) ≈ 0.4 PB. English Wikipedia with media ≈ 10 PB. A rack of Blu-ray cold storage (Facebook Project Amber) holds 1 PB. 1 PB = 10¹⁵ bytes = 1,000 TB.
