The hard drives I use in my data server are seven years old, and they’re starting to show their age (occasional hiccups in storage). So I bought some new drives, installed them last night, and started the process to copy everything I have over to them. This morning, the copy had finished with this report:
sent 6,094,086,288,514 bytes received 28,305,552 bytes 154,103,870.08 bytes/sec
total size is 6,092,496,202,605 speedup is 1.00
That’s just a hair over six terabytes of data. How the heck did I end up with so much stuff? Am I the digital equivalent of a hoarder or something? Maybe it’s time to do some housekeeping…
