360TB at 4MBps. I do not want to know how long that will take. Pretty cool though, reminds me of the crystal technology they have on Stargate.

How many hours of po...pular 4k videos can you put on it?

Streaming quality will allow for more, production for bluray would be less.

Figure around 8GB per hour streaming, UHD at 60fps and with HDR it'll be more like 45-60GB/hr, let's call it 50GB/hr for estimation.

With streaming quality, it'll be roughly 45000 hours, and at a much higher bluray UHD HDR encode quality, its about 7200 hours. Roughly.

If I did my math right and assuming 35Mb/s bitrate (4.5MB/s) you can probably fit around 2.5 years worth of your po...pular media of your choice
