Here at iNamics Online Data Storage, we are often asked,"How much data storage do I need?",
so here is how much data a 1000 MegaBytes(mb), or 1 GigaByte(gb), really is.
One Gigabyte Can Store:
250,000 average MS Word documents: If printed out and layed one on top of another, that
would be 85 feet high. To produce that much paper it would take about 384 cubic
feet of wood.
312 5.4 MegaPixels jpeg images: That's Equivalent to 312 high-quality, 3 inch by 5
inch photographs. That's about 10 rolls of 35mm film which is worth over $200 in film and
prints.
285 mp3 audio files: That's roughly 20 hours of music or 20 audio cds.
1000 small PDFs files: That's a 1,000 scanned documents with pictures and
text.
*Assumeing 4kb doc size. 3mb image size. 3.5 mb 4 min audio clips and 1mb pdf
