Tb
- Once a sector has been written into cluster 4, the number of blank sectors is unable to satisfy tb, so garbage collection starts.
Examples
-
If the number of blank sectors goes below tb, garbage collection is automatically triggered.
Academic text (1995) -
The threshold value for the necessary number of blank sectors, tb, is fixed at 64 (32 KB), a value chosen experimentally.

I've seen some estimates that we may be able to punch as much as 2 Tb/sec through air; then we run into problems.

If the infrastructure is in place to support 1 Tbps, then there is no difference in cost to moving 1 GB/day or 100 TB/day.

If we are allotted a frequency bandwidth B to transmit our signal, then in a time T we can send TB different amplitudes.
Academic text (2001) -
Even so, even if MIMO works perfectly, it’s hard to see how we can get past that hard limit of 2 Tb/sec per wireless host.

A cluster is full of garbage, or the number of blank sectors falls below a specified threshold value, tb. (As discussed in the following section, the value of tb is selected experimentally to keep write-performance degradation negligible.)
Academic text (1995) -
The new server has a storage capacity of 10 Tb, allowing for extensive data management.
-
When transferring large files, speeds of up to 5 Tb per second can significantly reduce wait times.
-
Many internet service providers now offer plans that include data limits measured in Tb for heavy users.

Etymology
The word Tb can also mean tera- plus bit: tera- means 'trillion' and bit means 'binary digit', a single unit of digital information, so Tb means one trillion bits of data.
