GB to TB Converter

Divide gigabytes by 1,000 to get terabytes.

500 GB = 0.5 TB

Formula

1 GB = 0.001 TB

terabytes = gigabytes ÷ 1,000

Worked example

Convert 2,000 gigabytes to terabytes

  1. Divide by 1,000
  2. 2,000 ÷ 1,000 = 2

2,000 GB = 2 TB

Good to know

Planning a backup: add up the gigabytes you need to store, divide by 1,000, and leave headroom — drives slow down and fill quickly when nearly full. A 2,000 GB total needs at least a 2 TB drive, and a 4 TB drive gives room to grow.
