A recent estimate is about 3 terrabytes.

It could be anywhere from 1 to 1000 terrabytes.

When the telegraph was invented the brain was compared to the telegraph system. Later,  it was compared to the telephone system. Now we compare the brain to a computer. Our brain is very different from any of our inventions.
