I saw an external runtime that is 1.5 tetrabytes. But I have no clue how big that is.
I found this on the internet:
1,024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte
1,024 gigabytes = 1 terabyte
1,048,576 (1,0242) megabytes = 1 terabyte
But I can't get my brain around those numbers.
I currently have a 250 gig external drive and it's full! I was going to get another one that is 500 gigs, but I looked at my partitioned drive and a couple of my smaller 40 gig external drives and I don't think it would all fit onto 500 gigs. So I want something bigger, and a tetrabyte seems bigger.
How many 250 gigs are in 1.5 tetrabytes. Knowing that will help me to visualize the size.
