We want to get the 'r' in there somewhere, especially if we feel the need to distinguish between tebibytes (how much is that?) and terabytes.

So..."terbs"? "Tribs"?

I like "Terbs", although it would be unfortunate if the 'b' was mispronounced as a 'd'... :p

"Tebibyte" is actually the base 2 number (2^40), whereas "terabyte" is base 10 (10^12) apparently:
