It's terabyte.

I remember those days too. Got our first IBM PC in 1983.

We still add or replace RAM chips to gain memory/capability/speed.

Conventional hard drives never went away. Solid state drives are not universal and they are still hard drives.

I'm sitting at a desktop right now, with the OS on an SSD and everything else on a conventional hard drive. People who fart around on Facebook or the internet in general might have gone to tablets and laptops but if you do it for a living, you're almost universally going to be using a desktop. I would never be without one. Unless I could retire early. Then I'd never look at another screen or argue with you ever again!

Stick to what you know....or at least the usual things you 'think' you know.
