Can we update the title? 100T reads as "100 terabytes" instead of "100 trillion" (as per the source).

Can we update the title? 100T reads as "100 terabytes" instead of "100 trillion" (as per the source).
- sneak 6y ago100 terabytes is 100TB. The T prefix without a unit means 100 trillion, just as 100TB means 100 trillion bytes. I think it's clear as-is.
- woudsma 6y agoI read it as 100 trillion. 100TB would be the 'right' suffix for terabytes IMHO.
- alpaca128 6y ago> 100T reads as "100 terabytes" No, it doesn't. Not more than it reads terameters or teragrams. SI prefixes were not invented specifically for computer memory.
- nrmitchi 6y ago100 terabytes would be '100TB', not '100T'. Further, '100 Terabyte Objects' wouldn't really make sense as a sentence anyways.
- globular-toast 6y agoIt should be read as "100 tera-objects", meaning 100 trillion objects. Writing "K" seems to be so widespread these days (Youtube likes/dislikes are written as 1.5K, for example), I'm surprised there is any confusion here.
