Terabyte
A terabyte (TB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 gigabytes or 1,000,000 megabytes, commonly used to measure data storage capacity.
History/Origin
The term 'terabyte' was introduced in the 1980s as storage capacities increased, with early uses in computer science and data storage industries. It became more widespread with the advent of large-scale data storage solutions and advancements in digital technology.
Current Use
Today, terabytes are widely used to quantify storage capacity in hard drives, solid-state drives, data centers, and cloud storage services, reflecting the growing need for large data handling in personal and enterprise computing.
Floppy Disk (5.25", Dd)
A 5.25-inch double-density floppy disk is a magnetic storage medium used for data storage and transfer in computers, typically holding up to 1.2 MB of data.
History/Origin
Introduced in the late 1970s, the 5.25-inch floppy disk became widely popular in the 1980s as a portable storage medium before being phased out in favor of higher-capacity and more durable storage solutions in the 1990s.
