What size Hard Drive would I need to download the World Wide Web?

[AlBags]

Would that be a large one? : )

[AlBags]

Any ideas? I want to do an uprade.

Well, it's slightly larger than a standard house brick, so not too unfeasible.
(Scuse the annoying advert at the beginning).

Underrated show that although the last series had it's moments, it was not as good as previous ones.

Contact to top 10 website hosting sites. You can probably then get an idea of the size of harddrive needed!

[ChuckFickens]

The last estimate by Google is somewhere in the region of 5 exabytes (5million terabytes)

So with todays prices you are looking at spending about 250 million quid on hard drives and would need a room of about 3000 cubic meters to keep them in!

Al, I heard your hard drive was plenty big... ;)

Here's the last page of the internet http://ln-s.org/ so you just need to find the first page and you should be able to work out the total size.
