What does a terabyte look like?
I want to be able to mentally visualize a terabyte of storage data. What analogy can be made to describe how much storage a terabyte involves? It could be in terms of pages in a book, feature length movie or a similar reference that would commonly be understood.
Interesting question! I like it! How about some of the following?
A terabyte is:
- More than 300 feature length movies.
- 40,000 faxes.
- 15,000 CDs converted to MP3 at high fidelity.
- Enough words that it would take every adult in America speaking at the same time five minutes to say them all.
