Hard Disk Requirements For Reflector Single User
Creating CDs or DVDs |

Hard
Disc Space Needed = (Number of discs + 1) * (Size
of media)
(Number of discs: The maximum number of unique discs
submitted at the same time from the REFLECTOR. Size
of media: For CD is 650 MB, DVD is 4500 MB)
Additional space is required when spanning files
larger than a piece of media.
- Example 1:
--- Client wants to burn 20GB at once: 20 GB = 5
DVDs
--- Hard Disc Space Needed = (5 + 1) * 4500 = 27
GB
- Example 2:
--- Client wants to burn 100GB at once: 100GB =
23 DVDs
--- Hard Disc Space Needed = (23 + 1) * 4500 = 108GB
