Since when...

.. has "trees-into-paper" been the unit of measure for hard drive capacity?

Old measurement....

but indirect. People used to compare an amount of storage on a drive to the number of pages of information that could be stored in text format on the drive. Since that number has gotten so large, I guess they've changed to trees instead of pages!

Stupid Measurement

Is it 100 trees at 1 point font, single spaced, no margins?

Maybe a 100 billion trees at 32 point font, double spaced, 2 inch margins?

I didn't know there was a standard for comparing bits to trees.

Another green-marketing angle. Look at how many trees you save by buying a 1TB hard drive.
