If you have a 16GB SD Card/MicroSD, USB Flash drive or the internal memory of your phone and you want to get an idea of how many movies can fit on it….keep on reading.
I not only highlight the storage capacity of 16GB for varying movie sizes, but I will also highlight some other information you will probably find useful.
How Many Movies can 16GB Hold?
In this digital age, 16GB is really not a lot of storage space and I can tell you off the bat that it won’t be able to hold a whole lot of movies. So if you have a ton load of movies, you might have to rethink another storage option.
Please note that the data used is based off real world movie sizes. 16GB could possibly hold a lot more or less movies, it really depends on many different dynamics.
Movie Sizes used:
SD Movie from iTunes = 1.5GB (Average Size)
720p Movie from iTunes = 4GB (Average Size)
1080p Movie from iTunes = 5GB (Average Size)
DVD Rip (Pirated) = 700MB (Average Size)*
Blue Ray Rip 720p (Pirated) = 1GB (Average Size)*
Blue Ray Rip 1080p (Pirated) = 3.5GB (Average Size)*
| Movie Type | Movie Size | 16 GB |
| SD Movie from iTunes | 1.5 GB | 10 |
| 720p Movie from iTunes | 4 GB | 4 |
| 1080p Movie from iTunes | 5 GB | 3 |
| DVD Rip (Pirated) | 700 MB | 23 |
| Blue Ray Rip 720p (Pirated) | 1 GB | 16 |
| Blue Ray Rip 1080p (Pirated) | 3.5 GB | 4 |
As I mentioned above, 16GB is not a ton load of memory, but you can still carry around a bunch of movies with you on the go.
You will find that a lot of people will often store the movies on a 16GB SD Card, 16GB MicroSD or USB Flash Drive. These devices are good options to consider, as they are not only cheap as a storage device, but you can copy and be on the go in no time.
