Re: data storage terminology

[Robert Lauriston <robert -at- lauriston -dot- com>]

10 TB is the most common. That's the Microsoft style.

Some style guides prefer Tbyte. Some guides use TB for terabyte and Tb
for terabit.

I don't think I've ever seen TBs.

Note that a terabyte is 1024^4 but drive manufacturers inflate their
specs by pretending that it's 1000^4.
