> Ok, how large is an average HD space on a server?

Average on a server is irrelevant, since the report was of specific servers, and the storage of those specific servers was compared to a number of laptop drives (implicitly invoking some "average laptop" to warrant the comparison.) No idea of an average server HD size is necessary in that comparison.

Of course, it would have been more useful to people who actually know anything about the field just to have had the actual size of the seized storage reported, rather than a comparison to laptop hard drives, but that's a different issue.

This is true, unfortunately I somehow missed the sizes when I read through the article the first time around. For that I am sorry. I found my mistake only about an hour ago due to another comment. That said I stand beside both the fact there there is no such thing as an average server/computer HD size (not one anyone can calculate at least) and the fact that it's still a stupid comparison to try and make.
