Storage gets expensive when you size it emotionally instead of mathematically. A rough estimate up front usually saves more money than endlessly comparing enclosures later.
This calculator is meant for first-pass planning: how much space a media library or similar collection may need when you combine viewing hours, average bitrate, and a safety margin.
This is a planning estimate for media libraries or backup-heavy setups, not a filesystem-accurate benchmark.
Use the result as a planning number, not a promise. Real storage consumption depends on codec choices, remuxes, backups, snapshots, and how aggressively you retain older content.
