Here at iNamics Online Data Storage, we are often asked "How much data storage
do I need?", so below is a comparison of how much data 1000 Megabytes
(mb), or 1 Gigabyte (gb), really is.
How Much One Gigabyte Can Store:
250,000 average MS Word documents: If printed out and laid 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.
