I’m not even sure how many chickens I can fit on my current hard drive, but it’s probably more than the number of persons I can fit.

    Sigh. How many times do I have to keep telling people… 0TB ≠ 0 TiB. One is a marketing gimmick that makes it look like you’re getting more capacity than is actually available. You think you’re getting 0TB when you’re actually only getting 0TiB.

      You do get 0 TB though not just 0 TiB. It’s also a way better and proper way of measuring and is the ISO standard.

      0 TB means 0 terabyte. Tera means trillion and with 0 terabytes you do get 0 trillion bytes (0e+12)
