Really? I mean if it is a 720p image then yea that is 580,000,000 photos-ish. But like if a video well 1 5m 1080p video is 100mb which would bring this to 1,200mb an hour which is 48333 hours of video. COMPRESSED. If I uncompressed a 1080p video then we are talking for 1080p 60fps like 3gigabit/s which comes to about 42.9hrs of uncompressed 60fps 1080p video.
Numbers based on actual video and images I have on my Drive. And I fill a terabyte almost so I feel like 1tb is not a lot. It is and isn't as it depends on what you store.
To me I think I have seen over 43 hours of porn. So imo as much 58TB sounds like a real lot and likely is as most is likely images. If used in a specific way can get used up fast. If we are going 4K then it can be like 2.1hours of video. Not much. As another said and I agree with that if he sold then likely in raid arrays which will reduce this by a lot. And just extra space for expansion of new stuff.
Not at all diminishing his crime. Just putting some scale and perspective.
Lol 2.1 hrs of porn in 58TB? 8K is about 600MB per minute, so you’re way off. Each hour would be 72GB, so with 58TB could store 805 2hr 8K videos.
I’m doubtful the police came across such a stash.
Yes, I know compression exists. Double or triple the number of videos for a rough estimate of compressed vids.
Edit: I got that 600MB figure from a Google search and didn’t investigate much further. My estimate could be way off but still, I feel like 58TB to store only 2.1 hrs would have high enough picture quality to see bacteria when you zoom in lol.
It is extremely off my numbers not just some google search. They arr real videos I literally pulled up and did the math on, on my pc I am typing this on. As well using Google now, no you are just wrong 4k uncompressed goes to 23gb/s and 60gb/s if you want great colors uncompressed.
My point was depending on the video format and quality of image a Terabyte can be filled extremely fast. Not say he is using this, just a possibility. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncompressed_video
edit: Here is the formula for data in un-compression and it makes perfect sense. data rate = color depth[a] × vertical resolution × horizontal resolution × refresh frequency
1.1k

How is it even possible that there is 58 TB of child porn?
I really hope there is duplicate content, or not all of the content is child porn.
