You're right, it needs 57GB! :O I saw 5 at the beginning of the number and I didn't read it carefully, a saw there about 5GB (I would never expect so much memory is needed!). Oh, brain matches facts to expections :D Okey, I can't crunch QC, I haven't got even enought disk space. Maybe I'll wait till SSD memory became cheaper ;) Thank you and I'm sorry for unneeded topic. | |

Late to this thread. Even 57GB might not be big enough. There was a discussion in the CPU multithread when the QC were failing. The current QC will get by with current allotment of space but they recently pulled some work as it was using up all the space on the HD. The recommendation was get bigger HD for those work units. No word on when or if those will reappear. However in preparation for those QC a minimum of 1 TB was floated. 1 TB of SSD is expensive but the scientist said 1 TB of HDD would work and the cost of those is significantly lower than a SSD. So I recently converted back to a larger HDD just in case those QC work units reappear. So just a heads up. | |

They are also trying to break up the work into smaller pieces. There are not many people who will be able to do 1 TB, though it would be fun to have the option. | |
