From a pile of files to a collection of CDs, the job of an entire file room can be done with only a few storage media. Document scanning in Los Angeles can promise you a more spacious and organized file room once stacks of paper have been converted to electronic documents. But to show you just how much electronic storage can save, here’s a little math. Say a black-and-white document, purely text, is 50 KB in size; a widely accepted standard for many experts. As this is only one page, a document worth ten pages will be 500 KB in size (again, take note that the 50 KB is just an estimate). The scanning process will use the default values to keep the scanned documents more or less than the 50 KB standard. Here are various electronic media that can be used to store electronic files. CDs With a typical capacity of 700 MB (716,800 KB), a CD can store more than 14,000 pages worth of files and documents. If the files have pictures and graphics in color, the number of pages may be lower but still significant enough to free up valuable storage space. You can put the CD beside the desk where you can access its contents any time. Say the thickness of the paper is at 0.004 inches (thickness may vary depending on the nature and substance of the paper itself). Therefore, an entire CD can store a stack of files that’s more than 57 inches tall. The stack would be three inches taller than a normal ten-year-old boy or girl. HDDs Hard disk drives can do even better in storing scanned documents, especially with their already impressive capacity increasing even more. A 1 TB HDD (more than a billion KB) can store over 21 million pages worth of files and documents. Using the same thickness from above (0.004), the HDD can store stacks of paper with a cumulative height of around 1.36 miles. If the stacks are laid out, they’ll be as long as the distance from the heart of Los Angeles to the Historic State Park north. Indeed, the numbers are large for document scanning in Los Angeles.
