Yeah, it's pretty amazing how much things have changed. That raw log data was about 250GB/year which is nothing today but when we started collecting it we were paying $1000/GB. Actually, they're probably still paying over $100/GB. The whole datacenter was outsourced to Perot Systems in the mid-2000s, and the storage fees were astronomical. We calculated that Perot must pay a separate tech to stare at each individual hard drive with a replacement in-hand in case any errors were reported. At least, they could afford to do that with what we were paying them for storage.
