how about that

I would prefer them apples.

So how much space do you actually get?

 

[darkcurves]

1TB is 1 Terabyte?

Just trying to capitalize on Gmail... again. The problem is people don't seem to realize much of the appeal of Gmail is that it's Gmail... it's Google's e-mail service. Google runs it. And that, coupled with the GB of space and really spiffy features, makes it popular. Something like "Hellacious Riders" is not that.

I take it they have an unlimited space HD?

Interesting, I wonder if any user will manage to fill up their account? The 1TB of space does seem like a gimmick to me; I don't think this motorcycle group will deliver on their promises.

It is a gimmick Koolguy, an extremely large HD today is around 300gbs. Now it would take 3.33 HD's just to support 1 FREE account. So if you have 100 free accounts, you would need over 350 HD's in that server.

 

[Koolguy]

hriders.com is most likely making the correct assumption that most people do not have 1TB of data at their disposal; however, I am sure that a small group of users will prove them wrong, killing this mail service in the process.

Here is my question:

Who (and why) the hell would you need that much space?

 

[tandoc]

largest consumer hdd 2day is 400gb (single hard drive that is) iirc

USB/Firewire disk from LAcie ( swedish price and text )

Ugh... 1TB data over USB? That falls into the "save world hunger while waiting" category of slowness.

bzzzt. that's a raid. i once thought it was a single drive too.

hmmmm... if i had more time on my hands, i would create an account and spend all day sending 5mb attachments to the account. sending 200 5mb files a day would get 30GB in a month.

or........ setup a domain with catchall email and have it forward to that account. send one email to 200,000 different aliases. *evil laughter*

But, lucky i don't have that kinda of time on my hands.

why not just set up a small script or program to send a 5mb attachment or very, very big email infinite amounts of times, in an infinite loop?
