How many movies can fit on a 2 terabyte hard drive?

Answer 1

Approximately 2000

(More like 200 or 100 if you rip the whole thing)

I just ripped 105 movies, and they took up 366 gigs. I only copied the main movie, and not any other features or menus on the DVDs. Also, maybe about 5 of them were only about 25-30 minutes long, while most of the rest were full length movies. This is straight ripping without compression.

Answer 2

That depends on the movies files size. DVDs have a common size of 8-9.5 Gb, son 1,000,000,000,000/9,000,000,000=111, then approximately you can store 111 DVDs. Blurays usually have a size of 50 Gb, so you can store approximately 20 Blurays

Answer 3

2 terabytes = 2040 gigabyes......1 movie is between 7 and 10 gigabytes....use 9 gigabytes as average size.

Therefore, the number of movies that can fit on a 2 terabyte drive is 2040 divided by 9 which equals approximately 226 movies if you round down since you wouldn't want two thirds of a movie.

Answer 4

A 1TB hard drive has a little more memory than 412 DVD-Rs. So you should be able to hold approximately 412 DVD-quality movies on your 1TB hard drive.

If you are recording your own footage (and using your 1TB hard drive for editing/managing your files) then a 1TB hard drive can hold up to: 84 hours of HDV 1080i, 17 hours of DVCPro HD 1080i/60i or 13 hours of 8 bit Standard Definition.

Answer 5

Depends on the size;

An average length movie with a medium quality aspect ratio would probably be around 1 GB. since 1TB is 1024 GB you can hold over 1000 movies

On the Other hand, 1080p (HD) movies can be more than 6GB. So you would be able to hold around 170 HD movies

Answer 6

400 to 700 to infinity actually because it all depends on the quality but generally the number of hours of movie you can put on a 1tb drive is about 400 to 700, good luck on whatever you're doing

Answer 7

you can fit about 9 full length movies.
