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 Yobibytes
A yobibyte (YiB) = 2⁸⁰ bytes ≈ 1.21 × 10²⁴ bytes (IEC 80000-13) - the largest named binary byte unit (2008 edition); 2022 revision added 'ronbi' (Ri, 2⁹⁰) and 'quetti' (Qi, 2¹⁰⁰). At HAMR areal density (10 Tbit/inch² projected by 2030), 1 YiB would require ≈ 6.24 million km² of magnetic platter surface - modestly exceeding the area of Australia. World total storage in 2023 ≈ 0.00848 YiB. 1 YiB = 2⁸⁰ bytes = 1,024 ZiB.
