Somwwhere around 2014 the PR dept sent a mail allempoyee@... incuding a 3Mb image.
I don't remember how much we shelled out for our 3PAR SAN, which hosted Exchange data in a CCR cluster, but it wasn't a pocket change AND we had 14000 mailboxes at that time.

- whitepoplar 4y agoso 42gb?
- justsomehnguy 4y ago3Mb * 14000 = 44040192000 Yep. Also, CCR and RAID5^W, with a cluster/page inefficiencies: 3mb * 14000 * 1.2 * 2 = 105696460800 / 1Gb = 98.43. A base 7200 FC head in 2014 cost ~$40k for 8x1.2Tb SAS 10k (PROMO, retail was $78k), so 40000/(7*1200) = $4.76/Gb (RAID5 of 8 disks) So the cost of just storing a completely unneeded ONE E-MAIL which wasn't even read by 99% of personnel: 4.76 * 98.43 = $468.52 (at least) NOT including tape backup costs, satellite transfer links, storage on the local machines, costs of receiving the message on handsets in roaming. Edit: I don't remember the specs (we had 1 head with 3 JBODs?), but back when I counted I got around $2k for this. I repeat: for storing ONE e-mail.
