'''nada.com.washington.edu''' (our main Internet-connected research server at the University of Washington) has about 14TB of available disk space. The disks are in a [https://enw.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID5 RAID5 configuration]. This means that if there's hardware failure on one drive, we won't lose data.
