How many terabytes are there for data storage? We know the aging SNAP appliance is 6tb from the pictures and "tour" here. There is probably enough info on the various posts from Matt to figure out the rest. ID: 812652 ·

Last modified: 28 Sep 2008, 4:08:24 UTC Good question, I'm curious as well. From the quick add up that i did from this info dated 14/2 it looks like there is 42tb of raw storage. ID: 812833 ·

Good guess - those pix are kinda old. I'll take newer pictures soon. But anyway.. we're roughly up to maybe 75 terabytes of raw storage, but a lot of that is lost on root/OS drives, spares, and major RAID mirroring... Also many are actually not used for SETI (like Eric's hydrogen mapping server, which contains something like 10 terabytes). - Matt -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea.

Good guess Thank you Matt for confirming this. On average per day how many disk/tapes of data get completed, how big is the results database & how much dose it grow each day? Are the results kept for ever or are they only kept for a certain length of time? Keep up the great work it is much appreciated. Speedy ID: 813214 ·
