A technician is upgrading the storage system for a company's database server that requires a minimum of 1 200 gigabytes of space. The company decided to purchase a new hard drive. Which of the following should the technician recommend?
Manufacturers use the decimal system, where 1 terabyte (TB) equals 1 000 gigabytes (GB). A 1 TB drive therefore provides only about 1 000 GB, which is less than the 1 200 GB minimum. A 2 TB drive supplies roughly 2 000 GB, meeting the requirement and leaving headroom for future growth. Drives of 500 GB or 200 GB fall far short of the needed capacity.
