It is so time consuming having to search data on numerous hard discs that were "big" just few years ago.
100 GB was considered as big storage space on hard disc. Now this is a size of storage of one Smartphone or a memory card to my Nikon photocamera 128 GB. 1 TB equals 1,000 gigabytes (GB) or 1,000,000 megabytes (MB).
Some documents are stored as pdf documents with hundreds single files on each, see below a doctor card of Hania Helfgott and Jidele Henechowicz from Piotrków Trybunalski. Besides single document there are also mixed documents in pdf files like DP-1 cards, the very first document that former inmates of concentration camps received after the liberation and Field Medical Cards that were used by Allied forces for the ill.

Other documents are mostly jpg photos. JPEG or JPG is the most common image format used by digital cameras and other photographic image capture devices like scanners. Most scanned images in the JPG format are just about 1200 megabytes (MB) like a file below from the Swedish Emergency Hospital in Ribbingelund taking care TBC-patients.

| JPG format photos are just about 6000 megabytes (MB) like a file above from Frihamnen port whereto Holocaust Survivors arrived during July 1945 on UNRRAs White Boats. The size of the photo file depends of course on the settings in the digital camera. |
