Teebs

Seeing as Giga should be pronounced Jiga, I'm sure we can change the pronounciation some how and have it sound good.

 

[cliftonite]

1 Teebit

Hmm, Ter sounds like someones name though. Chris meet Ter, Ter meet Chris.
I think I'll stick with using TeraByte and TB (I pronounce it TeeBee)

It'll stay gig for a while. "I've got a 1500 gig hard drive." But eventually, that'll get too unwieldly. Eventually people will give in and say it properly, "I've got a 1.5 TB hard drive".

Of course, think of the rash of threads that we will have: "My 2.0 TB hard drive is only reporting 1.8 TB in Windows". Since hard drive manufacuters will continue to use the proper 1000^3 definition and Windows will continue to use the incorrect 1024^3 definition. The error will be a full 10% in the TB range.

Tigs. Besides, we can't say Tera, we're supposed to be fighting tera, not shoving it in our god fearin' sturdy red state PC's.
