The sum of all FAH data that has been generated over the first 10 years of FAH is, in fact, a massive amount of data, and it continues to grow at an increasingly rapid rate. It has been quite a while since Dr. Pande commented on their total storage capacity. It may be somewhere in the FAQ but it probably hasn't been updated recently. Like 7im just said, I'm confident that they have effective plans in place.

Last I heard was on
http://en.fah-addict.net/articles/artic ... e-home.php:
All of this data is kept in storage servers at Stanford. The terabytes are countless; people speak of more than 400TB of valuable scientific data. However, such storage is very expensive, and the power of the projects equipment is increasing, and the PS3 and the GPU has only increased this need for storage space.
And that was in 2009.
