Most music CDs contain 10 to 15 tracks, so 1 CD can occupy as much as 180MB of storage space. 100 CDs can occupy 18GB of space and so on. A single movie can take up to 8GB of disk space. Two hours of HDTV content takes up to 18GB of disk space. So you can see why the Denzel is packed with massive amounts of storage capacity.
