According toRayburn, the average Netflix video is 90 minutes long and eats up1. The maximum size is likely to reach 50 GB and beyond. Some may even reach GB. So, on an average, three such games can fit on a hard disk of GB. For Amazon movies , an SD movie coming inat two hours or two two-hour episodes of a show in SD will set youback around 1. If you use a GB hard drive and assume50GB is taken up by OS and software, you can fit about movies or one-hour episodes on it before you run out of space.
You could fit approximately hours worth of movies on one terabyte. Assuming each movie isroughly minutes long, that would be about movies.
I do know people who have that many movies in theirlibrary, so it is possible that they could build a databaseof movies to fill that space. There are 1, GB in one terabyte TB. Right now, TB are the most common unit of measurement when talking about regular hard drive sizes.
The average two-hour, p movie on iTunes takesup about 5GB of space, meaning you could fit about 1, movies onto an 8TB size. Gamers are in a differentsituation. You should rather look for one that usesflash storage called an SSD.
It will usually have less space, butyou don't need and probably will never use 1TB. Jaganatha Juergs Pundit. How many movies can 6tb hold? The average two-hour, p movie on iTunes takesup about 5GB of space, meaning you could fit about 1, movies onto an 8TB size. Gamers are in a differentsituation. The installs for some of the latest big name titles takeup as much as 50GB of disk space.
Benny Wege Pundit. How many hours of 4k video can 1tb hold? Leola Reol Pundit. Is 1tb of data enough? Aicha Rutigliano Pundit. How many movies can 64gb hold? Best Answer: It depends on the length of the film and ifit is HD or not. This isassuming you only download movies. Marilee Pochechikin Pundit. How many songs can 4tb hold? Compressed moviestake up much less space, with the drive being able to storearound 4, lower quality films. Yaqueline Primorosa Teacher. Is 2 terabytes a lot?
How much is 2 terabytes and what can it store? You could fit approximately hours worth of movies on one terabyte. Assuming each movie is roughly minutes long, that would be about movies. I do know people who have that many movies in their library, so it is possible that they could build a database of movies to fill that space.
You could fit approximately , photos in one terabyte. You could fit even more if you used a compression algorithm. How would you even catalog that many photos?
By time, by subject, by category? Suddenly, we are facing big data issues in our personal lives, and we are going to need similar tools to be able to make sense of all of our potential data stores. With digital photography, it is possible to take a lot of photos without ever having to worry about development costs, so maybe , pictures is not out of the question.
With advances in technology, we have a lot of potential storage space available to us. Microsoft struck the opening salvo, but I expect Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, and others to follow suit. One terabyte hard drives are not uncommon right now and even though we have the potential filespace, can we fill it responsibly? If we can fill it, do we have the skills and tools necessary to keep track of our digital belongings?
Do I have the skills and tools necessary to ever find what I am looking for? Do you need to clean out your digital garage? Let me know your thoughts. About Kelly Brown. He writes about IT and business topics that keep him up at night. I have 2, movies in p some are in 4k but not many and TV shows ranging from pp. Of those 2, movies, how many of them did you watch in the last year? Can you just store most of them on a handful of external hard drives and have an online catalog of each drive and plug them in as needed?
In the old days 15 years ago. And photos. People used to take 1 or 2 good photos at an event like a picnic. Now they take 20 — But instead of deciding which ones to keep, they keep them all.
Photos have become the boring home videos of the 80ss. How many events will someone care about years in the future. I have maybe 1, photos from when i was born to age Someone who turns 18 in will probably have over , Even at 5 seconds a picture, it will take someone 8hrs a day, 17 days just to look at all of them.
The value of the pics will drop and become something that is always hauled around, but rarely looked at. Matt- so true. But, unlike some who may just keep them all, I am constantly deleting most of them except the best ones. And unfortunately, storage technology is getting beyond my understanding. I know there are others, but who has time to watch them all, or the increasing money it takes to pay monthly subscriptions for ea h one?
Anyway it makes me glad that I have my own little video library of all my faves. Sorry, Kelly! Bit look how fast things change in this field! I think about cloud storage like the physical storage units that dot the landscape of America. This blog post was mentioned in the international press this morning and picked up by Yahoo News:. Who would have thought. Thanks everyone for keeping this conversation lively! My question for you, Matt. How many hours of TV do you watch per year?
Just 3 hours a day is equal to 2 movies a day. Try finding those on any streaming service. And netflix? Have you seen their selection? This grandma is a scary movie buff and netflix has very little of those. In this world of immediate gratification, the one pleasure I do demand is the movie I want when I want to watch it. My collection allows me that pleasure. Sam, 1TB is a joke for a movie buff. Consider that watching only 2 movies a day is movies.
I do that easily. I have a considerable collection of photos 20k or so and and growing in music library , my problem is that i have dvds or so that i purchased most of which I wish to save, I spent alot of time and money over protecting these disc dvd changer pioneer and would like to preserve, I keep researching media servers for my self, but if i was going to travel cant really take with me, and if i was to convert them all digital and throw dvds away, would like to have a multiple bay type storage and a cloud option…..
Hello Marlon, Thanks for reading our blog. They are meant to be a personal cloud so that you can access your data, photos, music or movies anywhere. The mirroring is important to save your data in the event of a disaster or drive failure. Two things. Yes, the Microsoft and other models do make components seem cheap or free because of bundling. If you try to fill it with documents and photos and music and videos just because it is available then it will most likely be of less value to you your second point.
When you have one of something then it is valuable but when you have 20,, of something then it loses its luster. Good question! The simple but frustrating answer is: it depends. In my blog example, approximately 86 pages of Word document constitutes one megabyte. That would be a short book but there is extra formatting in Word that takes up even more bytes beyond just the plain characters. If you have 50 lines of 50 characters each per page then each page would represent bytes which means that a page novel would equal 1 megabyte.
In a published book there will be some formatting involved because of fonts and other characters so you would be lucky to get a to page book in a megabyte. So, the answer to your question is one. Unless you watch p, p and the upcoming 4k videos will eat a TB away.
Okay, no human can read that much, but what if you were responsible for reviewing and determining what is important in 1 terabyte of data storage, where some is video, some is documents, some is audio recordings?
Such is the dilemma facing criminal defense attorneys these days in some federal cases. The government dumps that much discovery, and more, on the defendant and his counsel. Then the prosecutors produce at trial just that carefully selected evidence which they think will help them convince a jury to convict the defendant. So, the defendant and defense counsel cannot anticipate and prepare for what is actually produced.
Data overload is just one of the prosecution techniques deliberately used by prosecutors to destroy any chance of a fair trial. There oughta be a law — for example: cases where the prosecutor produces more than the equivalent of , pages of discovery materials, should be dismissed for violating the due process right of the defendant to get a fair trial. Paul: Wow, I never knew about that. Thanks for sharing. Paul: after reflecting on your post again, I just realized that once computers become intelligent enough, they could sift through those mountains of data quickly and extract the needed pertinent information.
So perhaps soon, humans will be much more dependent on computers than we already are—or at least, those humans in trouble with the law! Interesting take on the volumes of data that the attorneys and prosecutors not to mention defendants.
The more serious the crime, the more volumes of data including references and copies of other cases! I have witnessed something very interesting prior to computers being involved and that is watching one person sue another claiming they should receive more money for child support.
The step-mother had convinced the father from the very beginning of the the divorce to keep a physical calendar and mark the days the boys were in his care.
Each year, the calendar gets taken down from the wall and placed in a safe place. Sure enough, the mother sues the father and the step-mom reminds father of the calendars. Father takes calendars to court.
It depends on a lot of things, but I suspect probably not. If a laptop has a 1TB hard disk, most likely it is using some old, slow, and unreliable old hard drive technology to save money. Replacing a hard drive with an SSD is one of the best things you can do to dramatically improve the performance of your older computer. Otherwise, you only need one; a HDD is cheaper, larger, slower, and more prone to data loss. A SSD are normally smaller in storage for the same price but faster and shock resistant.
SSDs commonly use less power and result in longer battery life because data access is much faster and the device is idle more often.
The HDD offers high storage capacities at a low price, while the SSD provides blazing fast access speeds at a higher cost. Used together, PC users can access their most important files quickly via the SSD, while storing media and other large files on their less expensive HDD. SSDs can give you a significant speed boost in a number of ways. Boot time using a solid-state drive averages about seconds as compared to seconds for a hard drive.
