Converting from Terabit (Tb) to Byte (B) | Data storage (1KB=1024B)

What is Terabit (Tb)

A Terabit (Tb) is a unit of digital information that equals 1 trillion bits, or specifically, 10^12 bits. This unit is often used to measure high-capacity data transfers and storage, especially in the context of networking and telecommunications. The value in bits can be converted to bytes by using the conversion factor that 1 byte contains 8 bits. Therefore, 1 Tb can be calculated to have the following relation with bytes:

What is Byte (B)

A Byte (B) is a basic unit of digital information storage. It is commonly composed of 8 bits and is often used as a standard to quantify data sizes such as files, memory capacity, and storage space. The Byte is frequently divided into smaller units such as Kilobytes (KB). In data storage, it’s important to remember that 1 KB = 1024 B, which follows the binary nature of computing.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Terabits to Bytes, you can use the following formula:

Conversely, if you want to perform the opposite conversion (from Bytes to Terabits), you can use:

Examples

Here are some specific examples of conversions to help clarify how to convert between Terabits and Bytes:
