    1000, in the same way pi is 3.

    A terabyte is 1024 gigabytes in the decimal base counting system, qnything else is factually wrong and is likely part of corporate astroturfing.

    Article intentionally uses bad mathematics to gaslight readers with poor math skills into thinking that somehow magically the act of multiplication yields fundamentally differently quantities in binary and decimal.

      Maybe the astroturfing got me, but I thought we had different terms depending on whether we were counting in base ten or two e.g. https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tebibyte

      Edit: Oh it says that in the article. I should’ve kept reading.

        No. Base 2 is a tibibyte and a gibibyte.

        A terrabyte and a Gigabyte are always base 10.

          Hu. Why did you say “No”? You’re agreeing with me.

            Ah I thought you said that a terrabyte can be both base 10 and base 2. (which it can’t be, then it would be a tebibyte)

            In that case: yes, I agree with you.

      Yeah it’s strange blog spam. The gibi-rish shift has allowed me to filter certain people out at work.

      Eduacte yourself a bit. 1 TB = 1000 GB. Just because in SI/its like this: Kilo, Mega, Giga, Tera, etc. Which uses a base of 10, so Kilobyte = 1000 Bytes, Megabyte = 1000 Kilobytes. If you want to use base 2, you need to use Kibi, Mebi, Gibi. So Kibibyte = 1024 Bytes.
