About converting Megabytes to Terabytes
Megabytes (MB) and Terabytes (TB) are both units of digital storage, so converting between them is a single multiplication: multiply your Megabytes figure by 0.000001. Ten Megabytes comes to 0.00001 Terabytes, and a hundred works out at 0.0001 Terabytes.
Rule of thumb: going from Megabytes to Terabytes divides, so the figure always shrinks — it takes about 1,000,000 Megabytes to make a single Terabyte. If your answer came out bigger, you have the conversion the wrong way round.
What is a Megabyte?
A megabyte is a million bytes under the SI prefixes this site uses, though Windows will call 1,048,576 bytes a megabyte; the IEC name for that binary version is the mebibyte (MiB). The best illustration of how confused this all got is the 1.44 MB floppy disk, whose "MB" was neither one nor the other — it meant 1,024,000 bytes, a decimal thousand of binary kilobytes, and essentially nothing else has ever used that unit. Today the megabyte is the natural size of a photo, a song or a document.
What is a Terabyte?
A terabyte is a trillion bytes, and it is the unit that makes the decimal-versus-binary confusion impossible to ignore: buy a 1 TB drive, plug it into Windows, and it reports roughly 931 GB. Nothing is missing and nobody has short-changed you — the manufacturer counted in decimal terabytes, as SI defines them and as this site does, while Windows divided by 1,024 three times and still wrote "GB" on the result. The honest label for what Windows shows is 931 GiB. macOS and Linux mostly report decimal now; Windows still does not.
To put both in perspective: a minute of MP3 audio is roughly a megabyte, while a 1 TB drive shows up as about 931 GB in Windows.
