500 gigabytes = 500,000,000,000 bytes.
1 byte = 8 bits.
500,000,000,000 X 8 = 4,000,000,000,000 (4 trillion) bits or 4 terabits.

The 'bit' is the smallest unit of information ... sort of the atom of information ... and it can't be split into anything smaller. A byte is eight of these, so the smallest fraction of a byte is 1/8.
To play with metric prefixes:
-- tera... = 1 trillion
-- giga... = 1 billion
-- micro... = 1 millionth
-- 500 giga... = 500 billion
-- 500 giga... / 1 micro... = 500 billion million = 5 x 1017
its 4GB but it suppose to be expressed in mb yameean
A terabyte (TB) is equal to 1,024 gigabytes (GB), so you could say that 1,024 GB plus 0 GB plus 0 GB equals 1 TB. Alternatively, if you want to break it down further, it can also be expressed as 1,073,741,824 kilobytes (KB) plus 0 KB plus 0 KB. Essentially, any combination that totals 1 TB will work, such as 500 GB plus 500 GB plus 0 GB.
Yes, 500 GB (gigabytes) is less than 1 TB (terabyte). One terabyte is equivalent to 1,024 gigabytes, so 500 GB is only about half of a terabyte. Therefore, 1 TB is significantly larger than 500 GB.
12 gigabytes is much larger. 500 megabytes is about half a gigabyte.
To convert gigabytes (GB) to terabytes (TB), you divide the number of gigabytes by 1,024, since 1 TB equals 1,024 GB. Therefore, 500 GB is approximately 0.488 TB (500 ÷ 1,024).
A 1 TB disk is twice the capacity of a 500 GB disk. I TB = 1000 GB 500 GB = 0.5 TB
You can use 500 GB hard disk & install OS 2000, but you won't be able to avail 500 GB hard disk space on it.
1000 mb = 1 gb so 300 gb is 600 times better than 500 mb
Think of it like comparing a small cup to a big bucket. If you have 1 cup and 500 cups, obviously 500 cups is more than 1 cup. The same principle applies to gigabytes (GB). 500 GB is larger than 1 GB because it's like having 500 units versus just 1 unit. So, in the world of digital storage, 500 GB is a lot more than 1 GB.
To find out how many 15 MB images can be stored on a 500 GB hard drive, first convert 500 GB to MB: 500 GB equals 500,000 MB. Then, divide 500,000 MB by 15 MB per image: 500,000 ÷ 15 = approximately 33,333 images. Therefore, you can store around 33,333 images on a 500 GB hard drive.
500 gigabytes
There's no such thing as a 'microbyte'. A byte is a data word made of 8 bits. That means it can be split up into 2 or 4 pieces, and nothing else. (A 'bit' is the smallest possible unit of information ... the 'atom' of data ... and it can't be split up at all. Either it's there or else it isn't.)
