Perhaps that 13 years of HD video data can fit in a petabyte?

- masklinn 13y agoYes, it seems to be a very confused way of saying "watching a petabyte of HD video", and completely fails at giving a sense of scale for a petabyte.
- jwoah12 13y agoI actually think it does a good job at giving a sense of scale for a petabyte in terms of video hours. "13 years of HD video" does a lot more for me than "1 million gigabytes," which was basically my frame of reference before. However that's only if you can actually interpret what it's trying to say.
- freehunter 13y agoYeah my trouble was that they referenced "how much is a petabyte" and "videos nonstop for 13 years" but failed to say "one petabyte of videos related to how big one petabyte is would take 13 years to watch". I think that explanation makes more sense.
- Retric 13y ago13 years of lossy compressed HD video perhaps. RAW 32 * 1920 * 1080 * 60FPS * 60seconds * 60 minutes /8bits ~= 1.6TB per hour and about 26days for a PetaByte.
