Tailpacking

Tailpacking - the technology used in some filesystems (e.g. in ReiserFS). It allows to decrease a disk space loss due to slack space by storing parts of several different files in one cluster.

TB

TB (terabyte) - 1,024 GB (gigabytes), 1,048,576 MB (megabytes), 1,099,511,627,776 bytes.

Thin provisioning

Thin provisioning - a feature introduced in Storage Spaces, in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, which allows to create a virtual storage larger than a real physical disk size.

Thumbdrive

Thumbdrive - a device to store data. Generally it doesn't differ from a memory card except that it is connected to a computer via an USB port.

TLER

TLER (Time Limited Error Recovery) - the technology of error correction invented by Western Digital. TLER-enabled hard drive has a fairly small limit on how long the error recovery takes. After that time, the error reported back to the controller and the error recovery stops. TLER is used in hard drives of RAID Edition series.

TRIM

TRIM - a command which erases unused flash memory blocks on SSD in advance to speed up subsequent writing.

TrueCrypt

TrueCrypt - the program to encrypt data on-the-fly for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.

TrueNAS CORE

TrueNAS CORE is a project to which FreeNAS was turned into. The unification is completed in October 2021.
