About IoT Data Storage Calculator:
This free calculator helps estimate storage requirements for IoT data collection, considering sensor types, sampling rates, and retention periods.
Storage Calculation Method:
- Data per Reading = Sensor Data + Metadata
- Daily Data = Readings per Day × Data per Reading × Number of Sensors
- Total Storage = Daily Data × Retention Period × Compression Ratio
- Where:
- Readings per Day based on sampling rate
- Compression reduces storage needs
- Metadata includes timestamps, IDs, etc.
Typical Values:
- Temperature: 4 bytes, 0.1 Hz
- Humidity: 4 bytes, 0.1 Hz
- Vibration: 512 bytes, 1 kHz
- Audio: 16000 bytes/s, 8 kHz
- Video: 100000 bytes/frame, 30 Hz
