tera-
Beyond giga-, metrically
Tera- is a metric prefix meaning one trillion (10¹²).
It appears in scientific measurements like terawatt and in computing terms like terabyte, where it indicates roughly one trillion units—though in digital storage, a terabyte is technically 2⁴⁰ bytes.
The data center stores several terabytes of information.
