How many will it hold? About 70 times your entire collection..... For reference 2 terabyte drive can hold about 650,000 3MB Photos OR 500,000 MP3 Files @ 4 minutes per song which would be about 4 years of music or 33,332 hours of music..... if you are like me and store 1080P MOVIES compressed they run about 2Gig compressed so about 1,000 movies. If you just rip the BluRay without altering it more like 200-250....I would suggest COMPRESSION! Enjoy! PS if you are a MUSIC lover then you might really like an addional product you can get at Best Buy. It is a WIRELESS USB drive from SAN DISK. I have several and they are really SUPER for trips. They fit in your pocket and when turned on they become their own WIFI device and serve the files on the drive to those connecting to it. The kids can play music or watch movies on devices that have WIFI or those with a USB port... Charge it by plugging it into a USB somewhere like an Iphone charger!.....Myh son took 6 movies to Disney and lots of songs and shared them on the bus with his friends. VERY COOL!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That wouldn't be a problem, you wouldn't even fill half of it
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It depends on how many songs per CD but yes, An Audio CD can hold max. 80 minutes of music. The file size of the source is not important. It's because the source (mp3, m4a, WAV or AIFF) has to be converted to the native format of an audio CD (16 bit PCM) and that allows only 80 minutes on a 700 MB CD. You should have no problem.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Assuming your cd's are the large size (800mb) 500 cd's would be approximately 400gb which would only be 20% of the drive. If you use a proper software to convert them to mp3, if they are not already, you would use way less space as well. Plenty of storage here for that and a whole lot more.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is way more storage then you will need. Assuming that each CD is approximately 60 minutes it will take about 80MB of storage so this device would hold over 26,000 CDs.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You should not have any problem fitting your complete CD Collection in a 2 Terrabyte Drive. Also this appears to be at a very reasonable price. If you don't have a Best Buy store card, you should get one. I did and I have saved 5% on every one of the purchases I've made since. This has been a lot of money.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.1 TB is 100,000,000 MBs. A music CD, at most, will hold 737MB each when full. That's 1428 CDs per TB. Since this particular device is 2TB that means roughly 2856 CDs.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it should fit all the CDs. Especially if you store them in a digital format that uses a bit of compression and not in WAV format...I prefer OggPCM for Linux or ALAC (Apple) or a high bit rate MP3 is okay too. FLAC would be another option.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yeah, I am sure it will hold that.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have over 27 thousand songs and they all fit.
