The following table shows the Number of Hours of Video that can be stored on a 128 Gigabyte drive for different resolutions at the highest bitrate setting.
| Resolution | Number of hours |
|---|---|
| 8K | 56 minutes |
| 4K | 3 hours, 20 minutes |
| 2K | 9 hours, 28 minutes |
| 1080p | 18 hours, 57 minutes |
| 720p | 29 hours, 56 minutes |
| 480p | 71 hours, 6 minutes |
| 360p | 189 hours, 37 minutes |
As the resolution decreases the number of hours increases.
