Translating and explaining what Ather said ... It is almost certain the question is about Hard Drive "memory" rather than RAM memory. HD builders do not count in binary, they count decimal so 2TB of HD = 1000 bytes = 1KB x1000 = 1 MB X 1000 = 1 GB x 1000 = 1 TB X 2 = 2,000,000,000,000 bytes. That is SUBSTANTIALLY less than 2 TB binary1,099,511,627,776 bytes = 1 tb binary.The difference between 2tb decimal and 2tb binary is 185.4 GB. THAT is significant! yah-bud …

1,099,511,627,776 bytes = 1 tb binary.

The difference between 2tb decimal and 2tb binary is 185.4 GB. THAT is significant!

A Gigabyte is a Billion Bytes. A Megabyte is a Million bytes. A Kilobyte is a Thousand bytes. A Byte is 8 Bits. A Bit is one unit of storage. So, yes a Teravbyte is 1024 Gigabytes. But that puts you over a Trillion, not a Billion. 1,000 Billions is a Trillion. 1,000 KIlos is a Million, and so on and so forth. Actually, a Terabyte is a Trillion Bytes.
