Quick answer
1 TB = 1,000,000 MB (decimal) and 1 TiB = 1,048,576 MiB (binary). To convert TB to MB, multiply by 1,000,000. To convert TiB to MiB, multiply by 1,048,576. Example: 1.5 TB = 1,500,000 MB, while 1.5 TiB = 1,572,864 MiB.
How many MB in a TB?
MB = TB × 1,000,000. MiB = TiB × 1,048,576 (1,024 × 1,024). Terabyte to megabyte is two prefix steps, so the factor is the single-step factor squared. For one step at a time, use the TB to GB converter and then the GB to MB converter. To go the other way, use the MB to TB converter.
- 1 TB is 1,000,000 MB decimal and 1,048,576 MiB binary.
- 0.5 TB is 500,000 MB decimal and 524,288 MiB binary.
- 4 TB is 4,000,000 MB decimal and 4,194,304 MiB binary.
- Fast estimate: move the decimal point six places right. 2.2 TB is about 2,200,000 MB.
