Key Formulas

Megabyte → Gigabyte

Gigabyte → Megabyte

MB = GB × 1000

Gigabyte → Terabyte

TB = GB × 0.001

Terabyte → Gigabyte

GB = TB × 1000

Formula

GB = TB × (1e+12 / 1000000000)

One terabyte is 1,000 gigabytes in decimal units, so multiply terabytes by 1,000. A 2 TB drive holds 2,000 GB. Use this pair to see how many games, videos, or backups fit on a drive, since file sizes appear in gigabytes and drive capacities in terabytes. A tebibyte (TiB) holds 1,024 GiB, so a capacity reported in TiB is a smaller number than the decimal label on the box.
