It would be hard to determine this. For example if you are asking how many megabytes or terrabytes of data a brain could hold. It would be staggeringly large. Most memory is stored subconciously or for specific visual tasks. Brains can probably recognise.
Estimates of the total number of synapses, and then presume that each synapse can hold a few bits in the range from 10^13 to 10^15

But given that the brain is able compress image data so well, eg we can recognise a face often just by a few shadows, we could store even more information, the same applies to music, we can recognise/match thousands of songs.
Hope this give you some starting points.

It's high, but not as efficient as the average computer.

You will have to be more specific. I don't know what you want to know
