If you just used the 300 dots per inch as 1 bit per dot, you could store 15120000 (300*300*8*10.5) bits per side (assuming 1/4 inch border on 8.5x11 paper 2 sided). That is 1.8MB per page. You would need 555556 pages. That would stack 463 feet high (assuming 100 pages per inch). } -----Original Message----- } From: linux-raid-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-raid- } owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Chris Green } Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 11:12 PM } To: 'Leslie Rhorer'; linux-raid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx } Subject: RE: md software raid } } I was thinking 300dpi on letter paper gives you about 1mbyte, and you'd } bloat it by 2x for redundancy, using both sides of the paper. } But I guess 300 dpi is actually 300 dots per square inch, not 300 per } linear inch, which means its only 10s of k per page. } } } -----Original Message----- } From: linux-raid-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-raid- } owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Leslie Rhorer } Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 8:08 PM } To: linux-raid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx } Subject: RE: md software raid } } > I'm guessing you could get about a megabyte per sheet of paper this way. } } You've got to be kidding!
