Convert TiB to TB

One tebibyte equals 1.099512 terabytes. To convert any number of tebibytes to terabytes, multiply by 1.09951163.

The converter above works in both directions and updates as you type. Below you will find the formula, a worked example and a reference table of common values.

Data conversions carry two ambiguities at once. Bits and bytes differ by a factor of eight, and network speeds are quoted in bits while file sizes are quoted in bytes — so a connection and a download will always report numbers that look inconsistent. On top of that, the same prefix means 1,000 to a drive manufacturer and 1,024 to an operating system, which is why advertised capacity and reported capacity never match. Neither is an error; they are different conventions wearing the same name.

TiB to TB formula

To go the other way, use tebibyte = terabyte ÷ 1.09951163.

About these units

A tebibyte is 2⁴⁰ bytes, about 10% more than a terabyte. Filesystem tools report in tebibytes far more often than their labels admit.

A terabyte is 10¹² bytes to a drive manufacturer and 2⁴⁰ to most operating systems — a 10% difference, which is why a 1 TB drive reports as roughly 931 GB.

Tebibyte is also written tebibytes and tebi. Terabyte is also written terabytes and tbs.
