I bought a 1TB enternal storage and backup system.
It is a Seagate BlackArmor.

This thing does everything.

Just how much a 1TB.

I need it for a project I am starting to work on.

How much video can it hold.

It was on sale for good price.

1. It depends on resolution
How much video can it hold.

Your average compressed movie will be around 700MB. HD quality will be 2GB thereabouts.

3. Well, obviously, it can hold just about 1TB of video.
It's a 1TB drive - ergo, it can hold roughly 1TB of stuff, whether it's video, text files, or "Code of Hammurabi" games.

4. I wonder how long it'll be before that is upstaged by a 10 or 50TB drive?
Seems everything's taking more memory these days, especially video.

5. I was going to buy something a little smaller but the price was right.
This drive was cheaper then the smaller drives.
