Reef Central Online Community – Things that cost more than premium membership…
3 terabytes is how much data we send across the wire in a month.
3 gig is around the amount of text data we have on the site. The index into that data is around 7 gig.
In addition to that we store over 6 gig in images.
The amount of data Reefcentral.com doesn’t seem that big. I mean, you can buy a 300 Gb drive for a about $100 these days. It’s the 3 terabytes of bandwidth of month that will kill you in terms of costs.
