The tebibyte (symbol TiB) is a unit of digital information storage. It is a binary multiple of the byte (symbol B) obtained using the prefix tebi (symbol Ti).[1]

1 tebibyte = 240 bytes = 1099511627776bytes = 1024 gibibytes

The tebibyte is closely related to the terabyte (TB), which is defined as 1012 bytes = 1000000000000bytes, but the terabyte has been used as a synonym for tebibyte in some contexts (see binary prefix). 1 TiB ≈ 1.099 TB
