how many videos can you store on this hard drive? null

Question

Anon · Accepted Answer

Depends on the size of your videos. This is like asking how much money can you fit in a suitcase?

It should hold a lot of videos.
You would have to figure that out yourself based on the size of your videos.

Say the actual usable size of the drive is 12.7 TB, then you have 
13,636,521,165 kilobytes (KB). If you are using Windows, check the size of the videos
you are interested in storing (in file explorer go the the 'details' view which should
give the size in kilobytes.

Just for comparison, say you had a 1920x1080 (bluray quality) movie of 25,000,000
kilobytes. You could store roughly 545 such videos.

Of course 4K videos will take up more room and standard definition videos will take up
a lot less room.

Depends greatly on the size of the videos but you could probably put over a thousand 1080p Bluray rips on this disk.

Answer

A regular 1080p movie is about 1GB. So, in 1TB that's 1,000 movies. In 14TB that's 14,000 movies.

Over 1900 video files depending on the size of the videos.

Depends upon what format the videos are. SD will give the most, HD a bit less, DVD-BR (BluRay) lesser & 4K far less.

8K really isn’t here yet, as far as actual content goes (many uses these to watch upscale 4K TV & content). Personally I’d not recommend 8K right now.

However, this HDD should hold lots of movies!
