Is 120 gigabytes a lot

Answer 1

It really depends on what type of data you are storing. If you are storing text documents then you have enough space to last along time. If you are storing pictures it depends on the size of the pictures saved, if your average picture size is 1MB then you could store about 122,880 pictures. If you are storing larger files like movies, which can range in size from 700MB to 4GB, on average you should be able to hold about 120 movies. Programs such as games can take up substantial room, from 1GB to 20GB, so you can fill up space fairly quickly. Of course if you have windows xp installed you will loose about 1.5GB, if you are running something different like vista, linux, or an older version of windows the amount of space taken up will vary. You rarley have access to all the space on your hard drive, some space is reserved for things like the MBR (master boot record) and other things.

This should give you a better idea of how much space 120 GB is,

1 Byte is equivilant to one charaacter, such as the letter "A"

1024 Bytes is equal to 1 kilobyte, or about half a page of text.

1,048,576 Bytes is equl to 1 megabyte, or about 1 small novel.

1,073,741,824 Bytes is equal to 1 gigabyte, about the size of a movie.

So with a 120 GB hard drive you have enough space for 128,849,018,880 Bytes, 125,829,120 kilobytes, or 122,880 megabytes.

To break it down even further 1 Byte is made up of 8 bits (which are actually just a sries of 1's and 0's) so you can store up to 1,030,792,151,040 bits!

Answer 2

120GB=122880mb 120GB=175 cds 120GB=25 DVDs 120GB=20480 mp3 songs hope you have got an idea about 120GB storage capacity.

Answer 3

1GB=1 billion bytes 120GB=120 billion bytes
