How Big Would This Forum Be If Every Post Was Combined In a Text File?

I’m just wondering out of curiosity, because there are thousands, if not millions of posts, and of all the posts on this forum, how big would a regular TXT file be?

As Someone with the username “</TheCoder2019_”, my coding skills are atrocious.

Here are my specs:

Spoiler

 

MSI PRO-VLH H310M

Intel Core i3-8100 (Thanks, @Schnoz!)

GTX 1060 OC 3GB or Intel UHD 630

16GB (2x8) Cosair Vengeance LPX CL16 - 2400MHz

GAMDIAS Argus M1

 

An old friend of mine - Intel stock cooler (temps through the roof like 60 C under load)

 

 

Linux Apps you NEED!

Spoiler

tmux

dhcpd

git

I have a forum with 1M posts, the db in text is 20gb.

This forum i'm guessing is 15M posts, so at least 300gb of text.

Ryzen 5700g @ 4.4ghz all cores | Asrock B550M Steel Legend | 3060 | 2x 16gb Micron E 2666 @ 4200mhz cl16 | 500gb WD SN750 | 12 TB HDD | Deepcool Gammax 400 w/ 2 delta 4000rpm push pull | Antec Neo Eco Zen 500w

That sounds like you are storing a lot of useless stuff, or not just text. 

 

For comparison, the entire Wikipedia, with its 52 million articles (which are far longer than most posts on here) is about 20GB. I think it was about 51GB for the entire English Wikipedia, uncompressed.

I said the DB size including all the queries.

The size of the documents / files is not related with the performance.

A server will take a hit from concurrent user access.

Why would it? Its not like all of those threads and posts are (usually) accessed at the same time. There are quite regular DDoS attemps which are whole another thing.
