120 petabytes, 120 million gigabytes, 24 billion MP3s, 1 trillion files. That's how much IBM's new storage array holds—nearly an order of magnitude more data than the largest current system, making it the biggest hard drive array ever built.

Key quote in the article:

"While IBM built this specific array for an unnamed client"

OK, so which one of you is going to fess up that they needed this hard drive set-up to hold their runtimes? That unnamed clinet has to be a Poser user. Nobody else that I know of would ever need that much disc space :woot:

A Poser user would have ordered two, so as to have a backup as well.

Probably a 4chan user then, methinks.

hborre sounds like they scheduled the release to match the releases of Poser 9 and PoserPro 2012 to me.

 

I'm with Sam....how many renders does a person need of  VNITWAS? :laugh:

Okay it was me but it's not full yet.  

 

Well not quite, but I do have 12TB for my time machine backup which is one of those mercury pro elite things from OWC with 4x3 TB drives.

I just stumbled across this thread while looking for another. My Runtime is a combined result of Poser 5,6, and 7. It's 71.5GB and climbing almost daily.

Well, I must be an exeption.
I just finished cleaning my work Runtime.

I keep everything both real and virtual.  (you should see my house)

The only things I ditch are things that have restrictive EULA eg  not for commercial renders.

But who says I'm going to use them for Poser runtimes? I need them to store all the movies I downloaded since I stopped using poser.
