Ronniebootwest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Here is a question for you technical guys.How many photo's can be stored in a gigabyte of space, assuming an average file size of 30 megabytes?I have a hard drive with 250 gigabytes of storage and really want to store my larger photo files on it - how many will it hold? Maybe someone has a quick formula for calculating this.Ron West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conflow Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Hi Ron,There are 1000mB in 1gB, so if you files are 30mB, then you will get about 30 Filesinto a 1000mB x 250gB = 7500 Files ~ However your access time to retrieve certainFiles is going to be quite long using this new Hard Drive. Better to organise it intoLibraries and access individual Libraries and then the contained Files.An alternative method is the 'Raid System' (Multi-Disc System) and as I recall I thinkKen Cox is using this method with some success ?By the way, did you recieve the Microphone Data I sent you ?Regards,Brian.Conflow.

Ronniebootwest Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Thankyou Brian (please see my email to you for more detail)I hope that Ken Cox will see this post and respond accordingly. I think that your suggestion about the RAID system might be the way to go.Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
