Convert Bits to Terabytes
b to TB · digital storage conversion
What are bits and terabytes?
A bit is the smallest unit of digital data, a single 0 or 1. A terabyte is one trillion bytes, the typical capacity of a modern hard drive. For scale: a photo is a few MB, an HD movie a few GB, and a modern drive holds 1 TB or more. These use decimal (1 KB = 1,000 bytes).
How to convert bits to terabytes
1 b = 1.2500e-13 TB. To convert, multiply the number of bits by 1.2500e-13. For example, 5 b = 6.2500e-13 TB, and 20 b = 2.5000e-12 TB. To go the other way, multiply terabytes by 8,000,000,000,000 (since 1 TB = 8,000,000,000,000 b).

FAQ
What is 1 b in TB?
1 b = 1.2500e-13 TB. To convert any amount, multiply the number of bits by 1.2500e-13.
How do I convert terabytes back to bits?
Go the other way: 1 TB = 8,000,000,000,000 b, so multiply terabytes by 8,000,000,000,000 to get bits.
Is a bit bigger than a terabyte?
No — 1 b is the smaller unit, equal to 1.2500e-13 TB (it takes 8,000,000,000,000 b to make one TB).
Are these digital storage conversions exact?
They use the standard internationally-defined conversion factors. Results are rounded to six significant figures for readability, which is accurate enough for everyday and most technical use.
