We just bought 252TB of raw disk for about 5k users. Given, this is going in to Exchange on Netapp with multi-site database replication, so this cooks down to about 53TB of usable space with room for recovery databases, defragmentation, archives, etc, but still... 28TB is not much anymore.
The average size of an email worldwide today is less than 4KB, less than one typical filesystem block.
Standard in your eyes maybe, hell, 4kb would barely cover the headers in some messages, I guess you also haven't heard about these things called "email attachments", please google it, we are not here to be your educators, though christ knows someone needs to be. PS your small message alone was 6K.

WOW cool, thanks, I guess I'll shut down all those smtp servers, the databases all of it, I mean, if its all a figment of our imagination, then all the power costs and costs of BTU cooling requirements, the data costs, they will vanish when we wake up and come baqck to stans reality? AWESOME!
