How many gigabytes are in a terabyte?

1024

Background

A terabyte holds 1024 gigabytes, not a flat 1000. One terabyte fits about 250,000 photos or 500 hours of Full HD video. Hard drive makers often advertise 1000 GB per TB for easier math. That is why the computer shows less than the box promises. A terabyte cost around 500,000 euros in 1997, today just 40.
