pro tips
Multiply by a million: 0.5 TB is 500,000 MB.
A "1 TB" drive is about 953,674 MiB in binary — the missing space, again.
TB to MB skips GB, so move six zeros, not three.
what it does
One terabyte is 1,000,000 megabytes. Multiply terabytes by a million and the megabytes appear, which is how a storage quota becomes a count of files you can actually picture.
It shows up when a plan quotes terabytes but a download meter reports megabytes, when a drive is advertised in TB and partitioned in MB, when a backup schedule is written in TB and monitored in MB, and in any capacity view that crosses three orders of magnitude at once.
The shortcut moves the decimal six places right: 0.5 TB is 500,000 MB, 2 TB is 2,000,000 MB, 4 TB is 4,000,000 MB — or 3,814,697 MiB in the binary accounting that makes drives look smaller. The zeros multiply fast, so keep the ladder straight.
Type any terabyte value and the widget answers in megabytes instantly, with the math on screen. Click to copy, and swap when a megabyte figure has to be rolled up into terabytes.
