How Long Will This Last Us?

For kicks, I just figured out how much usable disc space Bloglines has between all the machines that run the service. With the recent addition of a couple of servers to support some upcoming features, I believe we’ve passed the 1 terabyte mark. That’s in usable disc space, not raw. All of our various databases run on RAIDs, so the raw disc space number is actually much higher than that. Of course not all of that disc space is being used right now. We have a couple of backup machines that are pretty much empty and disc usage varies widely by what the particular server is being used for. I continue to be amazed at how far technology has progressed in just my lifetime.
