data volume
A certain quantity of data, especially in the context of electronic data processing and information technology.
Die Analyse dieser riesigen Datenmenge erfordert leistungsstarke Computer.
Analyzing this huge data volume requires powerful computers.
This word is a clear compound of 'die Daten' (data) and 'die Menge' (amount, quantity). So it literally means 'an amount of data', which makes it very easy to understand.
Für meine Masterarbeit muss ich eine große Datenmenge auswerten.
For my master's thesis, I have to evaluate a large data volume.
Common verbs used with 'Datenmenge' (data volume) are 'analysieren' (to analyze), 'verarbeiten' (to process), 'speichern' (to store), and 'übertragen' (to transmit). Typical adjectives are 'groß' (large), 'riesig' (huge), or 'enorm' (enormous).
Das Unternehmen muss täglich eine enorme Datenmenge verarbeiten.
The company has to process an enormous data volume every day.
Although the first part of the word, 'Daten' (data), is a plural word, the compound 'die Datenmenge' (data volume) is a singular noun. The plural is 'die Datenmengen' (data volumes).
Diese eine Datenmenge ist beschädigt und kann nicht geöffnet werden.
This one data volume is damaged and cannot be opened.
upload
'der Upload' and 'die Datenmenge' can both have to do with data being transferred over the internet. However, 'Upload' usually means the process of uploading to a server or the uploaded file itself. 'Datenmenge' only means how much data there is, for example whether it is large or small. They can be confused because an upload can have a certain data volume. In practical terms: 'Upload' describes the action or the uploaded package, while 'Datenmenge' describes the size of the data.
