There are 1000 terabytes (TB) in a petabyte (PB). There is an older definition based on multiples of 1024 instead of 1000, but this was changed, and tebibytes and pebibyte are the ones based on multiples of 1024.

Computer Manufactures consider it being 1000. But the OS will say 1024 (due to the binary numbering).

Here is the memory ladder according to computer manufactures

  • 8 bits= 1 Byte
  • 1000 bytes= 1 Kilobyte
  • 1000 Kilobytes= 1 Megabyte
  • 1000 Megabytes= 1 Gigabyte
  • 1000 Gigabytes= 1 Terabyte
  • 1000 Terabytes= 1 Petabyte
  • 1000 Petabytes= 1 Exabyte
  • 1000 Exabytes= 1 Zettabyte
  • 1000 Zettabytes= 1 Yottabyte

Here it is according to binary prefix and the older numbering system:

  • 8 bits= 1 Byte
  • 1024 bytes= 1 Kilobyte
  • 1024 Kilobytes= 1 Megabyte (1 048 576 bytes)
  • 1024 Megabytes= 1 Gigabyte (1 073 741 824 bytes)
  • 1024 Gigabytes= 1 Terabyte
  • 1024 Terabytes= 1 Petabyte
  • 1024 Petabytes= 1 Exabyte
  • 1024 Exabytes= 1 Zettabyte
  • 1024 Zettabytes= 1 Yottabyte

If these prefixes follow the metric prefixes, and it's petabyte rather than petra-. then peta- means 10^15 while tera- means 10^12, so the factor is 1000.

This means there are 1000 terabytes (TB) in a petabyte (PB). But some schools of thought assign 1024 as the factor, rather than 1000. It depends on whether you're talking about storage (hard drive, USB stick capacity), or RAM (onboard memory for temporary storage. Usually in the RAM, the 1024 factor is used, while in storage, the factor of 1000 is used. See related links below.

How many megabytes in a petabyte?

1 petabyte (PB) = 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes = 1015 bytes. 1 megabyte (MB) = 1,000,000 bytes = 106 bytes. So 1 petabyte = 1,000,000,000 megabytes. A related unit, the pebibyte (PiB) is 1024 terabytes, but this is rarely used, if ever.
