I think the shipping to New Jersey might be a bit on the expensive side...

Shouldn't be more than about $15 even with a lot of insurance.

Also, why do posters seem to care what the data is that he wants to send? It's his business what it is. For all I care it could be random noise.

We should just advise him to convert the file into binary and then shout it to his friend.

2576980377600 - if exactly 300gb.
Unless you're using the HDD manafacturers definition of 1mb then it's 2400000000000

It would be a bit of a shock to the mate when a dumper truck comes round and dumps them in front of his house.

"Sort that out!"

213334 disks. If you stacked them the stack would be 704.0022 meters tall, a little less than 100 meters taller than the tallest standing structure in the world, a TV antenna in North Dakota in the US.

More floppies than a Viagra shortage basically.

Rough maths suggests just over 200,000 disks.

208,334.

Mate just post him a hard drive. No way will it be possible to 1. upload it with a home connection, and 2. you'll probably have to spend the same amount as on a 300GB drive for hosting.

 

[Killa_ken]

Its 20 compressed cabinets each filled with about 2000 CAD model projects quite large.

I think maybe ill just put it on a hard drive in that case.

Thanks guys
