2 Methods of Calculating HDD Capacity 1) Calculate the maximum capacity of the built-in hard disk. Timing Recording: Step 1: Calculate the maximum capacity of the hard disk needed in selected channel per hour, which • we will classify as Si(MByte) with i representing the channel number. With the bit rate of the channel being classified as D (Kbit/s), the formula is as follows: Si = (Dx3600) / (8x1024) = D x 0.439453125 MB Step 2: Confirm the storage length time, which we will classify as T hours.
