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.
