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

What is Terabit (Tb)

A terabit (Tb) is a unit of digital information storage that is equal to one trillion bits, or 1∗1012 bits. This measurement is often used in telecommunications and computer networking to quantify data transfer speeds and bandwidth. For instance, a 1 Tbps (terabit per second) connection can transmit 1 trillion bits of data in one second.

What is Terabyte (TB)

A terabyte (TB) is a larger unit of digital information storage, equivalent to one trillion bytes or 1∗1012 bytes. In the context of data storage, it refers to the amount of data that can be stored on devices such as hard drives, SSDs, and cloud storage systems. It’s important to note that 1 TB is measured in bytes, where each byte consists of 8 bits. Thus, 1 TB equates to 8∗1012 bits.

Conversion Formulas

To convert between terabits and terabytes, you can use the following formulas:

1. From Terabit to Terabyte:

   1 Tb=0.125 TB
   This means:
   TB=Tb×0.125

2. From Terabyte to Terabit:

   1 TB=8 Tb
   Hence:
   Tb=TB×8

Examples

Here are some examples of converting between terabits and terabytes using the formulas above:

• Example 1: Convert 5 Tb to TB

  TB=5 Tb×0.125=0.625 TB

• Example 2: Convert 5 TB to Tb

  Tb=5 TB×8=40 Tb

• Example 3: Convert 2 Tb to TB

  TB=2 Tb×0.125=0.25 TB

• Example 4: Convert 2 TB to Tb

  Tb=2 TB×8=16 Tb

• Example 5: Convert 8 Tb to TB

  TB=8 Tb×0.125=1 TB

• Example 6: Convert 8 TB to Tb

  Tb=8 TB×8=64 Tb
