Hmm. Even talking about this is hard. The unit TiB is 1099511627776 bytes while the unit TB is 1000000000000 bytes. That is, when talking about a drive, expressing it in TB is about a 10% larger number because the TiB itself is larger. E.g., a drive that is 20000000000000 bytes would be 20TB or 18TiB.
