Yes, I have the correct unit of measure. > > Just downloading 2% of 50 TB (1 TB) would take a while over even a fast network link (measured in megabits (Mb), not megabytes (MB) like disk storage). Even on a local LAN downloading 1 TB is several hours @ 8 Mb/second on a Gigabit Ethernet link w/ no other traffic at all. I think my Singapore M1 ISP Home Fiber 1 Gbps broadband connection is capable of downloading at the speed of 60 Mega Bytes per second or more. > > According to: https://www.gbmb.org/tb-to-mb > 1 Terabyte is equal to 1000000 megabytes (decimal). > 1 TB = 106 MB in base 10 (SI). > > 1 Terabyte (2^40) is equal to 1048576 megabytes (2^20) (binary). > > Terabyte unit symbol is TB, Megabyte unit symbol is MB. > Terabyte is 1,000,000 times bigger than Megabyte. > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ===BEGIN EMAIL SIGNATURE=== The Gospel for all Targeted Individuals (TIs): [The New York Times] Microwave Weapons Are Prime Suspect in Ills of U.S. Embassy Workers Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/01/science/sonic-attack-cuba-microwave.html ******************************************************************************************** Singaporean Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming's Academic Qualifications as at 14 Feb 2019 [1] https://tdtemcerts.wordpress.com/ [2] https://tdtemcerts.blogspot.sg/ [3] https://www.scribd.com/user/270125049/Teo-En-Ming ===END EMAIL SIGNATURE===
