I'm curious about how much raw data (terabytes? petabytes??) is awaiting initial processing? Or is S@H all caught up? ;-) I haven't found this measure on any of the stats pages - or maybe it's there and I don't recognize it.

Is there a tally (or estimate) of how much raw data has been processed during the lifetime of S@H?

Thanks,

Win

The amount left to process - it depends on how long the project runs as more data is being added.
Data processed? Richard has collated the number of tapes he has run over the years - take a look at this thread http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=74238 Each "tape" is about 50GB of raw data. I would guess he has seen something like 80% of the actual tapes run. Yes, it is a big number.
