Encore | Media Storage Capacities

Encore can store music, photo, and movie files. The following table provides an estimate of the media storage for music and photos for several hard disk size options. Addition of movie files will significantly reduce the space available for photos and music.

**Assumes jpeg photos are 5MB size
Movies will reduce the amount of storage available for CDs and photos.

Some server manufacturers quote much higher photo storage capabilities based on 1.5MB file sizes. The newer digital cameras shoot photo sizes that are 5MB and larger.

They also quote higher storage capability for music, as much as 16 hours per gigabyte (GB) of storage. The average CD provides about 45-60 minutes of listening and takes up about 0.5 GB of storage space in uncompressed format. These high capacity numbers are for lower resolution music formats.
