Running Windows 7 x64 Home Premium full purchased upgrade (clean install) and attaching to NAS. :eek:

It's still counting. I'm up to 52.5 PB at the moment. I just had to rename the folder to 'Internet" for effect. I'm not looking for help, I just thought it was funny. :D

It's taking 6.5% of my 100MB WAN to do this "count' but it makes me smile every time I look over, so it's well worth it. I think I'll let it get to an exabyte or so.

(And I'm sorry but the [H] forums of all places should not flag "exabyte" as a spelling error in the editor.) :p
 
You can't have a hard link from one directory to another. It's done that way to prevent recursion.
 
You should wait and see if anything happens at either 9 EB or 18 EB!

In most cases, yes, but it's up to the OS to prevent that, and some (notably Mac OS X) don't. There's also the question of how NAS prevents soft linux in a *nix OS to a Windows System, and whether it's smart enough to prevent recursion.

What's that, 69,000 GB?

No! 69,000 GB would be 69 TB. PB is the next step up, so that's 69 million GB.

Kilobyte Megabyte Gigabyte Terabyte Petabyte Exabyte Zettabyte Yottabyte

The HardOCP spellchecker considers the last four to be misspelled. Ironically, it also considers HardOCP to be misspelled.
 
Behold, the exabyte drive! A billion GB of unstoppable storage! Muhahahah! ;)

I was mildly curious to see if something would happen at 9 or 18 EB evilsofa, but I don't want to wait another 3 or 6 days before I reboot, so I'm done. I'm still refreshing Win7 drivers and need the reboot.

And it is just properties check of a straight out-of-the-box share from a Buffalo DriveStation FlexNet 1.0TB (EB :cool:) External USB 2.0 & Network Hard Drive hooked only through 100Mb WAN. I didn't do anything fancy to attempt recursion.

Alas, $0.13/TB is only a fiction, for now.
 
Ockie will have some catching up to do.

Time for you to become the founding member of the [H] exabyte club!
 
Boost your post count and you can change your title to "Pioneer of the Exabyte" :cool:
