How much storage space is on Scratch's servers?

Icefan13

Scratch has 2 servers. Those 2 servers hold all the projects, profile pictures, studios, etc in scratch. So I got wondering, how much storage space is on Scratch's servers? Is it 32 TB per server or something larger, like 8 PB? I need to know!

Let's start with this: where did you get the information that they have 2 servers?

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

I was a Scratch Team member from May 10th 2019 to October 29th 2021.

I remember reading someone saying this several times, but I can't find the post…
I know what you're going to ask, and yes, I did try ocular

Doubt they only have 2 servers, even if their budget is low.

Back in Ye Olden Days of before 8 months ago, you used to be able to view unshared projects if you had the ID. I took advantage of this by downloading a large number of projects at random (usually 20,000) to find out how large the average project was, then multiplying it by the number of projects to estimate the total size of all projects.

My most recent estimate, as of May 3rd, 2022, was 817,329,174,763,566 bytes (743.35 TiB) - note that back then, there were only around 685,922,000 projects on the servers. Currently, we have somewhere in the realm of 868,000,000 projects - I can't really estimate how large the average project is, but I'd wager that currently, all of the projects on the servers take up no more than ~1.5 PB (1,500 TB, 1,500,000 GB).

Well, unfortunately I don't think they're going to release that information. It's safe to say a lot, though, and if it gets close to overflowing they'll troubleshoot something.
