How to convert terabytes to gigabytes

1 TB = 1,000 GB

1 TB = 1,000 GB exactly under the SI decimal prefixes (SI Brochure): multiply TB by 1,000. In binary units, 1 TB is about 931.32 GiB, and 1 TiB = 1,024 GiB exactly.

Examples

  • 1 TB = 1,000 GB: a drive sold as one terabyte
  • 2 TB = 2,000 GB: an external backup drive
  • 4 TB = 4,000 GB: a network storage drive

Common mistakes

  • TB and TiB differ by about 10% (1 TiB is about 1.0995 TB), so the apparent shortfall grows with drive size.
  • Formatted capacity is a little lower than the label because the file system and operating system use some space.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my 1 TB drive show 931 GB?

Your system is counting in binary. 1 TB is 10^12 bytes, about 931.32 GiB, and that figure is often labelled "GB". Formatting also uses a little space.

How many GB is 2 TB?

2 TB is 2,000 GB in decimal units. Software that reports binary units shows about 1,862.65 GiB for the same drive.

What is 4 TB in GB?

4 TB equals 4,000 GB. In binary units the same capacity is about 3,725.29 GiB.

Do drive makers use 1,000 or 1,024?

1,000. Storage makers measure capacity in decimal units, so 1 TB means 1 trillion bytes. Binary figures come from software that divides by 1,024 at each step.
