how many pages of text will this drive hold?
1434472
10 characters per word, 10 words per line, 50 lines per page is 5000 bytes per page. 8GB / 5000 is about 1,600,000. Estimates for characters per word, words per line, and lines per page are just that, estimated.

Judith, I don't know how many pages of text this drive will hold. I have over two hundred seventy pages of documents and more than seven hundred photos on one drive and it used up less than two percent of the capacity of the drive. I'm guessing hundreds of thousands of pages. Robert

The unit might not be able to handle that capacity of a drive you might want to check the manual

It most definitely will... be careful not to switch the drive off whilst it's reading/writing, though...

I've been using 120gb with another 120gb as extra storage. I therefore think 500gb is ample, especially if you can always get external storage later for backup. I run windows8.1.

320 or 500 GB is the size of Hard Disk Drive (HDD) not the size of RAM. 4 GB RAM is good enough for a Notepad. High End Notepad may have max 8 or 16 GB of RAM.

Formatted to 7.798 GB space available (8 GB version). For a bootable drive, I'd go to the 32 GB version.

I will agree with the other two comments.. Just upgrade the drive to a larger size. Storage is pretty cheap these days. Good Luck!

You likely already figured it out by now but for others searching for answers it more likely than not as it should average about 119gb of data. I did have a pny turbo that had 126gb of data but when encountered errors with it the represenative told me 128 drives average between 115-119gb of data so is likely that one was corrupted. . .

Well as all things it depends. However, an average file of 20 to 30 pages, I'd say I keep 40 or 50 files in it.

Any size you care to put in it. And by size, we mean capacity. I think I had an old 8 Gb lying around. That's probably plenty.

It can't index that much information. I stick to no more than a 128 gig usb sticks.

It depends on the size of your files. I have a 240 and currently have over 17,000 selections, with plenty of room to spare.

I can confirm 16 gb works. I have not tried larger, as it becomes a moot point. This unit does not support search/browse by folder from flash drive. So if you plan on using more than a couple of folders (which I would presume you would for a drive that size) move on and get a better unit. I very much regret choosing this one.

The Windows8_OS drive, or C:\ has 957,248,172,032 bytes or 891 GB and LENOVO, Local Disk or D:\ has 26,843,541,504 bytes or 24.9 giggle bites, so that's 915.9 GB total! And you can make more partitions. ... Is that what you meant?

Well. A 4GB flash drive can hold roughly 1000 songs. And just 1GB can hold about 300 pictures, depending on the quality of your pictures. You have an 8GB? I think you can hold all that plus some.

I am really sure but, you would probably lose 3-4 GB of data because of manufacture formatting, I would suggest go with 2TB.

Don't know the exact capacity. I save an all in one and a printer on it, that is all.
