We don't really know how our brain store information. We don't really know exactly how it organize information. As of this, we don't really know its capacity for storage.
We do know however that it organizes information quite different to methods used by these days computers. Most people have a quite inaccurate memory because it does not normally prove useful to actually remember all details about what we see, feel or hear. We filter out information on an estimated need to know basis and remember only what we think is important at the moment.
Some of us are better at remember details than others. Some of us remember songs and lyrics but not pictures and images. Others remember pictures and images but not songs and lyrics. Others yet again remember all. We can not say that one brain has got the same storage capacity or learning potential as another brain. We do however think that the brain can develop to a certain extent.
The storage space...
As of yet we simply do not know the brains capacity.
It ought to be quite a few gigabytes. Possibly many terabytes.

If you lose your short term memory do you lose your long term memory?
No
What is the term for the permanent storage of information in memory?
Long Term Memory
What is short term and long term memory?
Short term memory is where you store stuff that you won't need for a very long time. Long term is the opposite.
How do short term memory becomes long term memory?
Short term memories are transferred to long term memory through a process called consolidation, which involves strengthening the connections between neurons in the brain. This process is thought to involve the hippocampus and other regions of the brain working together to encode and store the information in a more permanent way. Repeated activation of the memory over time can also contribute to its consolidation into long term memory.
Do hamsters have a short term memory?
Yes and a long term memory too.
What is the three stage model of memory?

How does memory?
There are three main types of memory. These types of memory include sensory memory, short-term memory, as well as long-term memory.
Is ROM used for short term or long term memory?
ROM stands for Read Only Memory and is used for long term storage.
