Curious. I dont plan on it, but if I started an imageboard how many 4K images could a 1TD HDD on a server hold?

Around 400K I believe.

4K is around 8MP, 8MP JPEG photos are around 2.4MB. So, 300K to 400K www.ilovememorycards.com/how-many-photos-can-1tb-hold

Format and level of compression matters tho.

10 to 30MB per image. You can do the math.

It also depends on file format.

I believe PNG is possibly the biggest, then theres compression size. I do have a fair few pictures that is roughly 30mb in size. Iv tried editing pictures on paint shop pro that were so big in size it ate a chunk of RAM off and eventually the software just went 'f**k this I'm out' and just terminated itself
