pro tips
Divide by 1,000: 2,000 GB is 2 TB. Or 1.82 TiB in binary.
A 1 TB drive shows about 931 GB on the desktop — the binary tax.
Backups love this conversion; capacity marketing runs on it.
what it does
One terabyte is 1,000 gigabytes, so a gigabyte is 0.001 terabytes. Divide gigabytes by 1,000 and the terabytes appear, which is how a drive's advertised capacity becomes a number you can compare.
It shows up when a 2 TB drive reports its space in gigabytes, when a backup plan is sold in terabytes and used in gigabytes, when cloud storage tiers jump from GB to TB and the price curves with them, and in any spec sheet where the marketing unit and the file manager disagree.
The shortcut: 1 TB is 1,000 GB, 500 GB is 0.5 TB, and 2 TB is 2,000 GB — or 1,862 GiB if the binary accounting gets involved, which is the "missing" space your computer keeps mentioning. The gap only widens as the numbers grow.
Type any gigabyte value and the widget answers in terabytes instantly, with the math in the hint. Click to copy, and swap when a terabyte figure has to be broken into gigabytes.
