Storage requirements for primary analysis<br />

Table 5 Primary analysis storage requirements<br />

<strong>Applied</strong> <strong>Biosystems</strong> SOLiD 4 <strong>System</strong> <strong>SETS</strong> <strong>Software</strong> <strong>User</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />

Appendix D Advanced Topic: Primary Analysis<br />

Primary analysis workflow D<br />

The storage requirements values given in the table below assume a<br />

50-base tag run in one flowcell. If you use a tag size that is larger or<br />

smaller than 50 bases, the storage requirements differ from those<br />

given in Table 5.<br />

Files Storage required Notes about archiving<br />

.csfasta 56 - 80 GB Should be archived.<br />

_QV.qual 112 - 140 GB Should be archived.<br />

.spch 646 GB Should be archived for the<br />

lowest-level non-image backup.<br />

An estimate for the disk space<br />

needed for one ".spch" file (per<br />

panel) is n*(18*m+17) bytes,<br />

where n is the number of beads,<br />

and m is the number of cycles (F3<br />

and R3).<br />

For 50 cycles (1x50) and 300K<br />

beads, this yields 275 MB (per<br />

panel).<br />

A full slide has 2357 panels,<br />

which means that 646 GB are<br />

required for a full slide (50 bp<br />

single tag run).<br />

postPrimerSetPrimary.[JobID] 364 - 420 GB Temporary files. Most of these are<br />

removed upon completion.<br />

Intensity files 4 x 364 - 420 = 1344 - 1680 GB Optional. Not generated by<br />

default. It is strongly<br />

recommended that intensity files<br />

be generated with offline<br />

ReadBuilder, which is part of the<br />

BioScope <strong>Software</strong>.<br />
