Re: lot of data said by Cthen:said by amungus:3TB from a laptop? I find that part hard to believe unless they mean uncompressed...
Interesting, why is it more believable if the data was uncompressed? Because text compresses quite well, so 3TB in uncompressed data can be as little as a few GB compressed data.

| Still doesn't make sense on why that would make it more believable. I would be more inclined to believe it if it were compressed rather than uncompressed.

I'm not sure why you aren't getting this.
If the data was 3 TB uncompressed, then downloading it would take "forever" (well about 24 to 48 hours). If the 3 TB worth of data was compressed down to a manageable say 10 GB or something, then it would only take a few hours to download. After downloading then the data could be uncompressed at leisure.
