View Full Version : ***CLOSED*** Random Weekend Competition
Bit of a random one as Saturday seemed to fly by :)
Our NAS broke down so I am busy recovering data. It holds all our software installers for the company - Windows, Office, Server. ERP and the Photoshops etc. We have built it up for quite a while and have multiple versions of software dating back to 2002 or so.
So how big is our software stash in GB?
Nearest one gets one of RawZ new shiny SSDs :D
Samsung 830 Series 64GB 2.5" SATA-III Solid State Hard Drive (http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Solid+State+Drives/Samsung+830+Series+64GB+2.5)
1931
Rules:
One guess per forum member
If multiple entries get the right answer then it goes to an Excel shootout
Entries in by noon Monday
GO!
I thought you were sleeping in til 2PM today Robin :lol:
225GB?
oops edited for clarity.. guessing at the size of our software stash in GB :)
Those who have guessed can go again
and I failed at sleeping in this morning. bah.
0GB because you lost it all...
I think i will stick to my original guess.

Well it's obviously 283GB
I even contemplated phoning up and asking Aria's sales team what size it is, with the hope they didn't know about the competition :ninja:

If you did that and the opening line was "Hello. Aria Technology. Robin speaking. How may I help you?" what would you do?

:order:May I add that anyone who has answered with "Gb" has actually said gigabits not gigabytes, and for their answers to be in correct form as the competition asks for, gigabytes, would have to divide their answer by 8 to achieve the amount of gigabytes. xD
Same for some who answered in terabytes, which can be argued as 1000GB or 1024GB in a TB so giving different answers.
I even saw a tb back there somewhere! Double wammy!
*Pedantic rage over* Snigger

That is a toughy! I'm gonna say in the ball park of 547GB purely cause of the multiple versions as well as the Adobe suite (Unless you just have PS...)

GL Folks :-)
472Gb
I make this the closest ????
Grrr did 417. Who knew my other variation of 471 could have actually won. Damn you brain for making silly choices
Surely Rawz it said 350GB
Way out nice one to winner.
i was well out, but you could always send me some data instead LOL
When I said 197gig, I meant one particular folder... Didn't know you meant them all!!! :p
Yeh that's what I thought you meant too. (Honestly) Re-do lol
when i said 226 I actually typoed that for 466. Does it still count?
Worth a try.
547gb wasn't a bad guess, anywho congrats to the winner :)
A big wtf at the removed post just now, but I've still got the email.
