I've not tried this so can't say whether it's legit or not.

Free 1 TB email account

*Hriders. com gives unlimited free 1 Terabyte email accounts We have been asked why we would do such a thing. The answer is simple to help people store large amounts of information in a safe and secure environment. We live in a world where natural and un-natural events take place, that can destroy homes or offices, when that happens many people loose all of their family pictures, their furnishings, office equipment and more.

*We decided that Hriders. com should do something more than just provide a place to receive large quantities of emails. What we have done is provide our members with a place to store their family pictures or home videos as well as store pictures of their home or office furnishings, in case something might be lost to an unexpected event. Homes burn, earthquakes happen, floods and un-natural events take place all the time, and all to often we hear people say, well at least I survived but I lost everything, my family pictures are gone, I did not plan on this ever happening to me so I did not take videos or pictures of my belongs for the insurance company to prove to them that I had a music collection that I have had for over 20 years, or a $10,000 home theater system or 5 computers. We decided that yes a Terabyte of space may sound rather extreme to some, others will not think so. If you have a free membership with Hriders. com then you will receive a free 1 Terabyte email account. You will be able to store over 40 million emails, videos, games, mp3s, or pictures. Our servers are housed in an environmentally safe solar powered facility.

*We run system checks 24 hours a day, spam checks and virus applications that ensure that our systems are always up and running to ensure our members have the best experience possible while at Hriders. com We also host a radio station called HRadio which plays mostly heavy metal, rock and alternative music for our members listening pleasure, our radio station can be found on our website.

*Please join http://www.hriders.com today and become a member of our family.

It's been around for a long time. It's been down for days at a time before. It's slow and unreliable.

No one. It is impossible for ANY server (not a server cluster) to have 1TB. Obviously, this must be a scam... :no:

actually with RAIDING, your total HD space is the total of 1 HD. you can have 3 300GB HD's but it will only equal out to 300GB. its for speed not total memory.

the only way to get a terabyte off of 1 HD, is the go SCSI drives. and SCSI drives are rediculously fast and effective, but you have to have a specifically defines SCSI motherboard to support it.

i have over a terabyte of memory, but then again i have 3 separate HD's with different drive letters.

Easily. Not even RAID, necessarily. Dual 500GB drives, or 4 250 GB drives. I have a couple friends with a TB of drivespace (one does video editing, the other is rich).

But is it even possible with just ONE HD?

The elegantly engineered companion to Apple’s highly regarded Xserve line of server hardware, this cutting-edge, self-contained storage solution holds up to 14 hot-swappable Apple Drive Modules — a phenomenal 5.6 terabytes of data — in a rack-optimized storage enclosure.


I think the point of that service is that nobody (well...) needs a TB of data so there's no need to put aside a TB of space for each person.

Simple: More than one hard drive in the same server.

You don't need to put aside a TB of space, because no one will ever use it.
