What is One Terabyte  ( on technology) More and more, we are getting to work with more customers who request and need one terabyte systems.  Lest we forget how big really a terabyte is, here is a good way to visualize it in vivid words.  It is - - storage for 125,000 MP3 songs, or 1500 CDs. - equal to a 1.42 mile-high stack of 1.44 floppies - 2 weeks, 2 days, 19 hours, and 12 mins. of continuous DVD movies - if 1 byte is represented by 1 sheet of paper, it's a stack of paper 66,000 miles high. - if 1 byte represented 1 heartbeat, it's 2 minutes, 24 seconds worth of all the human heartbeats on earth. - 8,000 times more data than a human brain retains in a lifetime. - if 1 byte represented 1 grain of sand, it's enough sand to fill a 240 ton mining truck.   6:47:21 PM     comment []   trackback []
