Adathordozókapacitás

Adathordozókapacitás, often translated as data carrier capacity or storage capacity, refers to the maximum amount of data that a storage medium can hold. This capacity is typically measured in units of digital information, such as bytes, kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), terabytes (TB), or even petabytes (PB) for very large systems.

Different types of data storage devices have varying capacities. For instance, a USB flash drive might range from a few gigabytes to several terabytes. Hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs), commonly used in computers, can store hundreds of gigabytes to many terabytes. Optical media like CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs have more limited capacities, generally measured in megabytes or gigabytes. Cloud storage services offer capacities that can be virtually limitless, determined by subscription plans and available infrastructure.

The adathordozókapacitás is a crucial specification when choosing or evaluating storage solutions, as it directly impacts how much information can be stored, accessed, and managed. Factors like file size, the number of files, and the intended use of the storage (e.g., personal documents, large media libraries, or enterprise data) all influence the required capacity. As digital content grows and data-intensive applications become more prevalent, the demand for higher storage capacities continues to increase.
