Those who were at the 2002 LAN remember the teraserver, the linux file-server with 1TB of diskspace.  The machine had (8) 160GB drives in RAID5

Tera recently received a makeover, and in addition to blue lights and new LCD screens, now has (8) 1TB drives in RAID0, providing 7TB of disk space.  The machine also has a dual gigabit trunk into the core switch, meaning when everyone plugs in August 7th, downloading will be at extremely high speeds.  If your machine has gigabit with SATA drives, expect upwards of 50MB/s transfers.  

XioniX has been busy filling the machine with content, and plans to have all 7TBs full by the time the LAN starts.  The internet’s been a little slow lately … perhaps that’s because the download pipe has been fully saturated for the past 3 weeks …
