A Terabyte of space for your email
Email inboxes are not just about sending, receiving and storing emails anymore. The California-based iTrade Group believes that email could become the single most important place to store every single piece of digital data. The increasingly popular email provider offers every Internet user a free email account with one Terabyte (TByte) of space.
Life is full of superlatives. We tend to connect terms such as the best and worst with values such as fastest and slowest. But sometimes there is the question, whether new record achievements still make sense. Such a question may come up with the size of email inboxes which not too long ago were capped at sizes of around ten MByte. Then Google's Gmail came along and started a frenzy among providers with the launch of a one GByte inbox.
Last September, the iTrade Group, based in Irvine, California, announced free 100 GByte accounts and recently increased the space to 1 TByte under its domain hriders.com. In our case, the account was even super-sized to 107,374,182.4 MByte, which translates to 102.4 TByte, since users who need more space would receive larger inboxes, according to the provider. But if its even "just one TByte", the email inbox is larger than most of us have available in harddrive space and has enough room to store more than 40 million emails, several hundred games, 200,000 MP3's, or more than 350,000 five Megapixel digital photographs.
