Terabyte (1TB) means 10
powers of 10. A computer operating system, however, reports
storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB= 2
1,073,741,824 bytes and 1TB = 2
therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity
(including examples of various media files) will vary based on file
size, formatting, settings, software and operating system and other
factors.
