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.
There are some judges that believes no one produces reams of data that is junk which is why many of the world corporations get away with polluting or commandeering natural resources away from the public trust. The consumer or victim oftentimes do not have the resources or the ability to provide , pages of research study where , pages are filled with fluff. You are so right of the prosecutors tactics.
What size flash drive I might to need to store perhaps , songs only? Thanks IH. In either calculation, you would need storage equaling about gigabytes. I just did it quickly in my head, but I think the OP was off by nearly an order of magnitude.
I just was doing this out of curiosity and for possible future reference. Or did I miss something? OK I did miss something. But according to your assumptions a CD holds songs or about 10 record albums! So, do I have it correct? And if so, when does anyone ever find the time to listen to , songs? Even if they were 3 minute pop songs that would take almost a year listening 24 hours a day, just to listen to all of them once. When would someone find time to eat, much less time to make silly responses to IT blogs?
Just read your blog and the ensuing comments and thoughts. Loved the piece. Google Apps for work is offering up to 16TB. This is a lot of boxes. I am researching the possibility of transferring them all to flash drives, or some other kind of memory device.
So clearly I have more research to do! Thanks for your info. Dave, thanks for your comments. I have been in the business long enough that I remember working with bytes and kilobytes so my perspective has partly to do with my history.
It could be that the terabyte is the new megabyte and I just need to catch up Good luck getting everything moved over to storage. I am sure they come in 4TB, but maybe even 5 or 6 or wait a week! That seems all the OP needs. Some day I may want to, just as a backup. David, thanks for the follow-up.
I think you are right about the future of movies. They could even be removable so you keep a small collection of drives on your shelf. The other option is cloud storage but you need to have access to the cloud in order to utilize it. If I am backpacking in the wilderness area, I most likely will not have a signal to be able to access my movies.
If I get lost however, accessing my cloud storage to watch movies will be the least of my worries For the most part, how much media does one really need immediate access, everywhere they are? Going camping and want a couple movies for the trip, just plan ahead, have them download the day before and watch them when you get there, or passengers watch them on the way.
Even small removable drives 1TB compact flash cards — not too small physical size, quite durable with a good cataloging system. Or maybe even a library system on your home network, where you buy a toaster size device, where it would have slots for maybe SD cards in it.
When you run out of space, just drop a few more cards into it. Heck, I remember my first computer class in high school, we saved programs on a paper punch-tape! Memory was at a premium. A terabyte in a flash drive is like something out of Star Trek! And my iPhone probably has more power than the entire Houston control room for the Apollo moon missions. Cool times, huh? Dave, At the risk of revealing my age, all I can say is, you must have sat next to me in high school You described my experience to a tee.
Cool times indeed. I think this is an interesting article. It looks like I may be among the youngest on this thread.
You are thinking of data storage in an antiquated way. Someone else mentioned 4K video, well with advances like blue ray, 4K, mp4, upcoming wearable technology, etc we will need more data storage for the same amount of content. Example: songs in mp3 format will be different then the amount of storage for songs in mp4 format.
Thanks for your thoughts. You are correct and I probably need to update this blog post. I was talking with someone the other day about Blu-ray, 4K and mp4. They all require a lot more storage space. At that point, adding more RAM will have little impact in solving the problem. Begin typing your search term above and press enter to search. Press ESC to cancel. Research Paper.
Ben Davis June 1, How many p movies can 1TB hold? How many movies can 4TB hold? How much does 1TB of storage cost? Is 1TB enough for a laptop? Do I need both a hard drive and SSD? Will SSD improve speed? Why are SSDs so expensive ? Does RAM increase speed? Daphine Abbakumov Explainer. Is 1tb good for a laptop? If a laptop has a 1TB hard disk, mostlikely it is using some old, slow, and unreliable old hard drivetechnology to save money.
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.
