[Scale-planning] onsite data store

[Tom King]

we had 2+GB files and that means EXT4/NTFS for USB Drives...it was a
disaster..we finally had to go out and buy a USB HD that we were able to
use...it took over 2+hrs of the Class time on Sunday to pass the drive
around with 30 students...

its not needed by everyone but in our case it would have helped (along with
wired network...) we could have used a switch and had them come up 5 at a
time had we had a server that we could have dumped those things on.
