### Batch Depth

:::caution
The minimum value for `depth` is 17, however higher depths are recommended for most use cases due to the [mechanics of stamp batch utilisation](#batch-utilisation). See [the depths utilisation table](#effective-utilisation-table) to help decide which depth is best for your use case.

`Batch depth` determines how much data can be stored by a batch. The number of chunks which can be stored (stamped) by a batch is equal to $$2^{batchDepth}$$.

Nodes' storage is actually defined as a number of chunks with a size of 4kb (2^12 bytes) each, but in fact some [SOC](/docs/learn/technology/disc#content-addressed-chunks-and-single-owner-chunks) chunks can be a few bytes longer, and some chunks can be smaller, so the conversion is not precise. Furthermore, due to the way Swarm represents files in a Merkle tree, the intermediate chunks are additional overhead which must also be accounted for.

Additionally, when a node stores chunks it uses additional indexes — therefore the disk space a maximally filled reserve would demand cannot be calculated with perfect accuracy.
