Data sizes

A complete raw event (X map, Y map and PM data) weighs on average about 15kB with zero suppression, 600kB without. After full reconstruction, including pedestal suppression if needed, and compression in a ROOT file, each event weighs about 50kB.

At a 100Hz event rate, the data production is about 1.5MB/s = 5.4GB/h. The full reconstructed data will be around 20GB per hour of data taking.
