Translate.google.com was that so hard.

My Message:
I don't Speak spanish, so here is what you could have done instead of being single minded in you determination to have everyone speak spanish here. You could have used google Translate.

Spanish:
Yo no hablo español, así que esto es lo que podría haber hecho en vez de ser única determinación en mente que usted tenga todo el mundo hablan español aquí. Podrías haber usado traductor Google.

Your Message:
no entiendo el mensaje que me mandas,¿no sera que he encontrado un mensaje estraterrestrial,y contactan conmigo


Translated:
I do not understand the message you send me, could it be that I found a message estraterrestrial, and contact me

The message that you said you could not understand:

Il n'ya pas vouloir manquer de respect aux gens qui parlent d'autres langues, mais la langue principale du forum est l'anglais.

Hello everyone,

Can we please keep this thread on topic about the upcoming fundraiser?

¿Podemos mantener este tema en tema sobre el próximo evento para recaudar fondos?

Thank you.

Gracias.

Some of us speak many languages, even without Google Translate. I, for one, do not appreciate nasty comments about others, regardless of the language written.

Most of the people here are very nice and will work very hard to help everyone.
Please treat all others here as your friends unless someone proves differently.

Thank you! :)

(Please accept my apologies for not translating this perfectly into the other languages being used here.)

S'il vous plaît traiter tous les autres ici comme vos amis à moins que quelqu'un prouve différemment.

Je vous remercie! :)

How many disk drives is actually needed or what size of data we are talking about? (...ok found 20x2TB :)

I'm confused here, you want to "transport via disk"? Why would anyone want to "transport" anything with the options the internet provides? Obviously SETI has access to the internet. Didn't "disks" go by way of the Dodo birds? Surely they have internet access in West Virginia and a place like the Green Bank Observatory would have at least a T1 line as a minimum.

AFAIK T1 meens 2Mbit up and down. At least here in Germany you can do better with VDSL up to 50Mbit down and 10Mbit up.......

Keep also in mind that data integrity is vital on any sientific project. So it would maybe be more complicate to ensure no corruption during transfer over the i-net then sending the data on drives.

As for Arecibo, the connection over there is not good enough for even thinking about it. It was mentioned sometime last year in a tech news.

A T1 line is only 1.5Mbit/s, or 180KiB per second, far slower than the average cable or xDSL connection these days.

We're also talking about 40TiB of data that the hard drives can move. If the same amount was transferred over a T1 connection, it would take exactly 7 Years 2 Months 22 Days 11 Hours 27 Minutes 37.57 Seconds to transfer all of the data, and that's ignoring latency and "jitters". That means that for those 7+ years, the connection would be maxed out and unusable for the entire time.

Too slow? Let's get a faster connection! How about a T3 connection running at 44.736Mbp/s? That would take exactly 91 Days 0 Hours 41 Minutes 30.04 Seconds to complete the transfer, again assuming no latency issues crop up.

Still too slow? Let's get a faster connection! How about an OC-3 connection running at 155.52Mbp/s? That would take exactly 26 Days 4 Hours 26 Minutes 9.6 Seconds.

Still too slow? Let's get a faster connection! Let's assume that Green Bank has the funds to afford an OC-12 connection running at a whopping 622.08Mbp/s. That would take exactly 6 Days 13 Hours 6 Minutes 32.4 Seconds to fully transfer the data.

So obviously a dedicated connection would have to be setup so that this maxed out connection does not prevent volunteers from getting more work. A full T1 line still costs over $200/mo. At $200/mo, for 7 years of data transfer, it would cost SETI@Home $17,400 just for the single 40TiB run. If we switched that to the T3 line, that costs about $4000/mo on the low side, so it would cost (91 days = 3 months) $12,000 to transfer the single run. The OC-3 connection is about $20,000/mo on the low side, which is more expensive per bit than the T3 line. The OC-12 connection is typically over $45,000/mo on the low side, making it cost prohibitive to afford using an internet connection.

For this much data, hard drives are probably the most sensible way to go! You only have to pay for the hard drives once, then the shipping back and forth between the two locations.

20 total for transport for the GBT
16 for Eric's Hydrogen Array

With that said we're always looking for hard drives. Servers, JBOD's, transport, the list goes on. They're always in high demand.
