terabyte
Thousand gigabytes combined
A terabyte is a unit of digital information equal to approximately one trillion bytes—specifically 2⁴⁰ bytes (1,099,511,627,776) in computing contexts or exactly 10¹² bytes (1,000,000,000,000) in storage marketing.
Hard drives and cloud storage are commonly measured in terabytes: My laptop has a two-terabyte drive.
Abbreviated TB.
