*Word Document - based on an average file size of 50kb.
*PDF Document - based on an average file size of 300kb.
*Photos based on an average file size of 1.5MB
*PowerPoint based on an average file size of 330kb (10 slides).
*Movies based on an average file size of 1.5GB for 1 full length movie.
*Songs based on an average file size of 4MB per 1 song.
NOTE: USB drive memory capacity is never 100% of stated capacity. Most USB drive capacity ranges from 90-98% useable memory. (i.e.- a 1GB drive holds roughly 800MB)
*All statistics are estimates and will vary depending on exact file size and/or combination with other files.

Memory Size Fun Facts:

- The entire human genome consists of a mere 0.791175GB of data.
- 1 Terabyte (1,024 Gigabytes) equates to roughly 50,000 trees when used to store electronic documents. So think about it... with a 1GB USB drive you can save roughly 50 trees with a single data-load. And remember: USB flash memory is re-useable. Multiply those 50 trees by the number of times you re-use the drive and you could be saving a forest.
- 1GB holds roughly 230 songs (at 128kbps). That's roughly 16 hours of music or 20 albums.
- The average 2 hour movie is 1.5GB. That's two feature length films on a 4GB with memory to spare.
- War and Peace is 1.7MB in digital form. That means you could store over 542 copies on a 1GB drive.
- A 1GB drive can hold an estimated 595 photos (with a 5 megapixel camera at standard resolution settings). The average photo album holds 200 photos. That means you could fit 3 photo albums on just one drive. Create a slideshow, add music and voila!
- Catalogs are costly to produce, hard to ship and can take up valuable desk and storage space. Hand out your catalog on a USB flash drive and you've saved time, labor and the environment. Our catalogs are 5MB. You could preload roughly 180 of them on a 1GB flash drive.
- An average 10 slide PowerPoint presentations is less than 1MB in size (330kb). You could fit over 2,800 PPT files on a 1GB USB drive.
- The average 2 minute video on YouTube is approximately 4MB. With a 1GB flash drive you could hold over 230 of them... that's over 7 hours of video content.
- When used to store 'text-only' electronic documents, a 1GB drive can store 1,000's of files in a single data preload. And remember, USB flash memory is re-useable. Copy, delete and repeat.
