What does terabyte per second [TB/s] represent?

Terabyte per second defines the transfer of one terabyte of data every second, based on SI units equaling 10^12 bytes per second.

How is a megabyte per second (SI def.) defined?

It is a data transfer rate of one million bytes per second, distinct from the binary-based mebibyte per second.

Why is it important to distinguish between decimal SI and binary units?

Because this affects conversion accuracy; decimal units use base 10 while binary units are based on powers of 2, leading to different values.

Key Terminology

Terabyte per second (TB/s): A measurement of data transfer rate equal to one trillion bytes transferred in one second, based on decimal SI standards.
Megabyte per second (SI def.): A unit quantifying data transfer speed equal to one million bytes per second, using decimal units distinct from binary-based units.
Decimal SI Units: Units defined by powers of ten, commonly used in data transfer calculations for clarity and standardization.
Binary Units: Units based on powers of two, such as tebibytes and mebibytes, often used in computing but different from SI decimal units.
