1 terabyte = 10^12 bytes = 8 * 10^12 bits - 1 million billion would be 10^15.

'''Hard disks''' are magnetized modules of [[computer]] memory. Magnetization is used to store compartmentalized information in [[binary]] code, by turning the magnetized piece of the drive "on" or "off." A single hard disk will contain ~~millions of~~ billions of these individual points of information ([[bits]]) aggregating to larger amounts of storage, such as ([[bytes]]) or megabytes. Hard disks are vulnerable to [[magnetic field|magnetic fields]].
