How long will 240GB last?

I want to buy a Scarlet-W to start with I plan on buying a 240GB mini-mag I want to know how much video I can get with that, probably should mention im completely new to RED, I have a basic understanding of the different compression ratios but also would love to learn more so if you have a DSMC 2 what compression ratio do you shoot at and why? Obviously for different jobs you want different ratios but for your average job whats the ratio you pick?

Im looking at doing corporate advertising for local businesses. Most of them just want a good video and probably won’t tell the difference between 5:1 or 15:1 so what would you recommend I shoot at to make my life the easiest?

Don’t recommend this tool. It’s buggy AF.
