Is that true? I've been pricing hard drives recently, and they seem to have stagnated for the last few years, staying at about the same price, with the best value per Gb at around 4Tb.
I thought h265 took about half the space of h264 for the same quality, but a 4k screen is actually 4x the pixels of 1080p...
So I'm guessing 4k h265 would be about double the bitrate of 1080p h264.
- Dylan16807 10y agoThe price of hard drives is still dropping, there were just some setbacks from the flood. http://www.jcmit.com/diskprice.htm http://www.jcmit.com/diskprice.htm More importantly, don't just look at a year or two. 1080 availability is significantly more than a decade old. In fact, you should probably be comparing against 1080 mpeg-2. That gets you nearly the same bitrate between then and now. In that time hard drives have gone from ~1GB per dollar to 35GB per dollar.
