This week in class the topic of discussion was about bytes and bits. Now this is important to "Basketball Central" because a good number of items that will be posted will be videos. The key thing to keep in mind is how many bytes will each video approximately take up, and also how many videos will be posted a day. We will need a lot of space on the computer to ensure that we are able to upload all the information smoothly.
Before class I was not that knowledgable on different byte sizes, but as we went further into I saw how much of an impact it really played. If you computer does not have enough byte size videos, audio tracks and other things may fail to be uploaded on the website correctly. With this website I would probably use 3-5GB to make sure that we have enough space open. Considering how many videos we will be uploading a week it will be key for the site to be capable of uploading the videos.
I was originally considering 1TB, but the amount of space that comes with this seems a little too drastic for what my site is intended to do. I feel that with 3-5gigabytes will be fine for the amount of text on the site. Because it will be a lot of statistics, excerpts, and little articles 1TB is too much.
