[citation][nom]bigships[/nom]ThePatriot, how many bytes in a terabyte? Isn't it a trillion bytes? 1,000,000,000,000 (10 to the power 12)? (assuming 1,000 bytes per kilobyte) A gigabyte is a billion bytes.Wouldn't a TeV, a teraelectron volt follow the same logic?Or am I mixing systems of math?-- bigships[/citation]
Yes, you're mixing base 2 with base 10. 2 to the 30th power is a gigabyte, 2 to the 40th power a terabyte, and so on. They're talking about base 10 when they say TeV.
