Block
A block is a fixed-size unit of data storage, typically used in digital storage systems such as blockchain, disk drives, and memory devices.
History/Origin
The concept of a block originated with early data storage and computer memory management, evolving significantly with the advent of blockchain technology in the 2000s, where blocks are used to record transactions in a secure, decentralized ledger.
Current Use
Blocks are widely used in data storage systems, blockchain networks, and file systems to organize, manage, and secure data efficiently.
Terabyte (10^12 Bytes)
A terabyte (TB) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^12 bytes, commonly used to measure data storage capacity.
History/Origin
The term 'terabyte' was introduced in the 1990s as storage capacities increased, following the adoption of the binary prefix 'tera' from the metric system, though it is often used in decimal form for storage devices.
Current Use
Terabytes are widely used today to quantify data storage in hard drives, solid-state drives, data centers, and cloud storage services, reflecting large-scale data capacities.
