How much space does MR occupy?

[trainguy77]

My guess would be around 15 GB.

 

[dmw007]

1 hundred billion gigabytes

Ya, that sounds about right... 😉 😀

 

[Kingsly]

I guess around 10-15 Gbytes. Is anyone going to provide an answer or do we get to take up more space fighting over it? 😉

 

[dogbone]

OK, I've done the math. Its' 23GB

(gig or take a few)

How so? Or are you just joking

I don't mind fighting for it. Sooner or later one of us will be right!😀

This also leads to the question...

What are MacRumor's hardware specs? (or is this a big secret?)

I would like to know this too....but all I know is that they have 3 servers. Maybe this is a mod secret😉

Probably a bit closer to a 36d as the site has expanded.

Just more to love.

MacRumors is the universe. It will continue expanding at a rate faster than man (or broadband) can travel in all directions. Therefore, we shall never truly know it's exact size at any one time.

Either that, or it's 43MB. I haven't decided which.

 

[joepunk]

I'll guess

4
8
15
16
23
42






Well, one of those numbers anyway.

 

[vniow]

It was 420MB back in 12/02, I wouldn't say its over 2-3, 4GB maybe now though.

 

[Oryan]

I'll guess it's about 5 GB. You have to remember a lot of the pics in photo threads are actually hosted elsewhere.

 

[2nyRiggz]

No, no, MacRumors. Not your pr0n collection! 😱 😉 😀

Yup...can't keep my mind off it...went off in space whiles i was typing...typical 2ny.

What are MacRumor's hardware specs?

Here are arn's previous posts about this:

new server a year ago

specs as of last August​

 

[UKnjb]

Hmmmm - Something's happened that will have made its size an intsy bit smaller!

After I set this thread up last night (UK), some guy was the first 'poster', came out with a question like was my query a 'how many jellybeans in the jar' sort of thing. I replied that I supposed it was. 🙄

And now I see that his post and my reply have ----- gone!!! Disappeared!
What would all that have been about?

 

[sunfast]

I bet it fits on a floppy.

I bet it fits on a floppy.

Actually, it takes several of them now. Here is last night's backup:

Did I say 10-15 Gb? LOL I totally meant 1-5 gb. Really. 😉

Crikey!
So many guesses and ---- is it that there is no known answer? 😕

No, really! In terms of rack space it is. 🙂

The database is 5.64GB at the moment, but actually running the site will use up more space than that because of the software needed, other data files, logs etc.
