A terabyte is 1,000,000,000,000 bytes (tera being the SI prefix for 10^12) so this is probably correct.
The confusion is between tera (10^12) and tebi (2^40). Most techies don't really seem to care and prefer the more historical use of tera even though it's now deprecated but personally I appreciate the attempt at clarity.
