Data storage conversion

[Peanut2005]

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to find out if there was any way that I could work out how much storage space I would require by streaming 1000 hours of content at 1mbps.

Many thanks

well....

1Mbps = 1MBp8s (1 MegaByte per 8 seconds)

Multiply that by 450 (There are 450 units of 8 seconds per hour)

1 MBp8s = 450 MBph

Now multiply that by 1000 for how many hours.. and..

450,000 MB

439.453125 GB
