512 meg is about 1/2 a gig. A computer hard drive is variable, but newer ones are typically not less then 60 gig. Good size Print quality digital pictures run about 3/4 of a meg. Text documents around 1 page are about 10k. 1024k = 1 meg, 1024 meg = 1 gig.
Clear as mud?

It depends on the size of the documents. Your flash drive is 512mb, a normal disk is 700mb. So it can hold a little bit less then a disk. It really depends what you saving on it and what format it for the size. For example:you could save 15-17 copies of the web page for off line references or could put about 60-80 normal, 3min long, music tracks on it.

With a 512mb flash drive you would be able to hold about 768 documents.

Most text documents are very little in space they take up. Usually around 25Kb, 1000Kb = 1 Mb, 1000Mb = 1Gb, so alot. But then again it depends how many programs you are planning to install. So probally around 10k to 20k files
