nope, it was all rough back of the envelope stuff really, just to try and get a handle on the volumes of data and thus the physical demands of gathering it and storing it. You'd really need a robotic disk/cartridge loader. > Also, isn't 100GB/month per household fairly low if media streaming is as > popular as is often suggested? I think as an average it still isn't a *bad* figure - the numbers were from a few years ago. I know my family of four routinely hit 250GB a month, but we do watch a lot of netflix. /me checks and goes boggled eyed at seeing we hit 500GB in November... ponders who's been using all the bandwidth!
