2 gb according to my mate Antony

*Edit* Lol, try something like 2 Terabytes and you are still going to be very far from the truth. I don't think that it is possible (yet) to evaluate the capacity of the human brain. The fact is that a person can remember hundreds of movies, songs, books, events from the past, pictures, faces, names, phone numbers, etc., that if all those memories had to be put on a hard drive, terabytes upon terabytes wouldn't be enough.

A quote from some researchers.

"The human brain contains about 50 billion to 200 billion neurons

(nobody knows how many for sure), each of which interfaces with 1,000

to 100,000 other neurons through 100 trillion (10 14) to 10

quadrillion (10 16) synaptic junctions. Each synapse possesses a

variable firing threshold which is reduced as the neuron is repeatedly

activated. If we assume that the firing threshold at each synapse can

assume 256 distinguishable levels, and if we suppose that there are

20,000 shared synapses per neuron (10,000 per neuron), then the total

information storage capacity of the synapses in the cortex would be of

the order of 500 to 1,000 terabytes. (Of course, if the brain's

storage of information takes place at a molecular level, then I would

be afraid to hazard a guess regarding how many bytes can be stored in

the brain. One estimate has placed it at about 3.6 X 10 19 bytes.)"

How much can a human brain carry?

The human brain has a tremendous capacity for storing information. While it is difficult to quantify exactly how much information the brain can hold, it is estimated to have a storage capacity of around 2.5 petabytes (or 2.5 million gigabytes). This is roughly equivalent to 3 million hours of television shows. However, it's important to note that memory storage is a complex process and can vary greatly among individuals.

What is the memory capacity of the human brain?

The capacity of the human brain cannot be defined in binary computer units, as the brain does not use binary addressing. As knowledge, feelings, and memories do not have a standard format, it would be impossible to determine how much space it would take to place this data in binary form.

How much of the brain is used as storage?

Almost the whole entire brain uses storage or memory when it does something. Examples: When we see you may ask yourself the question; how did my brain know that was there? Your brain uses its memory of the world, past experiences, and what it thinks should be there in order to give you vision. When we dream our brain uses memory from our memory storage and mixes non-useful images and ideas together erasing them from our memory, this is why be cant remember all our dreams completely. When we smell our brain uses a its memory in smells and signals the nerves in the nose to smell what we remembered what it smelt like before. Almost everything comes from memory or storage.
