The SAMSUNG EcoGreen F2 HD154UI hard drive pictured is 1.5 TB.

The alleged JSTOR archive torrent making the rounds is 35 GB. If Aaron went through the trouble of getting a HDD 1+ TB, it means the JSTOR files probably amassed to a size indeed to the tune of ~1 TB, (at least, if he in fact did have accurate foreknowledge of their true size).



Or maybe he just had a spare 1.5TB drive around.


The filing mentions him entering the closet to swap out storage devices when one filled up.


the torrent is just a fraction and it says so right in its title.
