How many movies can an external hard drive store?

Question by Rain Upon the Muses: How many movies can an external hard drive store?

Say I buy movies strictly off of iTunes and transfer the purchases to an external hard drive (I have Vista). Roughly, how many movies would you say could be stored on a 500gb external hard drive, a 750gb external hard drive, and a 1tb external hard drive (list them separately)? Thanks folks!




Best answer:

Answer by Yikes
Well, a typical standard movie is around 700 mb while the same in HD would be 1.5 gb
So if you average them to be 1 gigabyte that would be 500 movies on the 500 gb drive.
Double that for the tb if you didn't know.
[blue rays 4 to 8 gbs.]
