A Terabyte is about 1,000 Gigabytes, so you can fit 1,000/5 = 200 such files.

Note that some people measure a Tera as 1,024 Gig, and some measure it as 1,000. Also, some measure a Giga- as 1,024 Mega, and some measure it as 1,000. So this number could be not quite exact.

Also, the file system you use has overhead: that means, some of the space on the hard disk is used to hold information to let you find the stuff in the file. That means this space is not available to hold the files themselves. There are two types of file systems used most often in Windows: FAT and NTFS. Each one has several "flavors" (differnt "block sizes"). In general, most file systems will use something between 10% - 15% for overhead (now you know why I can't say exactly).

Combining these, if 85% of the space is useful for holding your files (100% - 15% = 85%), that means a 1 Tb disk could hold 200 x 85% = 170 files (+/- 5 if there's disagreement on the 1,000 vs. 1,024 issue).

What does 1 gig measure in KB If I have a file of 2011787 KB what amount of gig would this equal. Want a table of KB in relation to gig terabyte etc?

2011787 kb = 2.011787 gig kilobyte = 1024 bytes................ Commonly rounded down to one thousand bytes. megabyte = , 1,024 kilobytes.. Commonly rounded down to one million bytes. gigabyte = 1024 megabytes.... Commonly rounded down to one billion bytes. terabyte = 1024 gigabytes..... Commonly rounded down to one trillion bytes. To put this in perspective: kb = 1000 mb = 1,000,000 gb = 1,000,000,000 tb = 1,000,000,000,000 Hope this helps! ;-) No it doesn't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
