8 GB to TB
8 gigabytes to terabytes
Decimal (SI) — what most people mean
8 GB = 0.008 TB
Binary (IEC): 8 GB = 0.0078 TB
In the decimal standard (used by storage makers and Google), 1 GB = 1000 of the next unit down, so 8 GB = 0.008 TB. Operating systems use the binary standard (×1024), giving 0.0078 TB.

Frequently asked questions
How many terabytes is 8 GB?+
8 GB equals 0.008 TB using the decimal (SI) standard that drive makers and Google use, or 0.0078 TB using the binary standard that operating systems use.
Why are there two answers?+
Storage is measured two ways: decimal (1 TB = 1000 of the next unit down) and binary (1 TB = 1024). Hard-drive and SSD capacities are advertised in decimal, while Windows and other systems report sizes in binary — which is why a "1 TB" drive shows as about 931 GB in your operating system.
