HiSeq 2000 File Sizes

[E_Klee]

I was wondering if anyone that is working with a HiSeq 2000 could provide some general file size estimates. I am looking for total file sizes
- per lane, per flow-cell, or per run
- intensity files, .bcl files, FASTq files, and/or BAM files
- for 50, 75, and 100 bp PE and SE runs.

Thanks,

Attached is the site prep guide. It doesn't give the file sizes you want but does recommend computing specs and archiving space.

Have you gotten your HiSeq? I have heard that it can take 6 months or more. Our official ship date is over 3 months from placing the order.

I have a booklet from a user group meeting that lists:


Hiseq 200G run
Image Data 32TB (not tfrd)
Intensity data 2TB (optionally tfrd)
BaseCall / Quality score data .25 TB
Final Alignment output 1.2 TB

GAIIx 50G run
Image Data 5.6TB (optionally tfrd)
Intensity data .5 TB (optionally tfrd)
BaseCall / Quality score data .06 TB
Final Alignment output .3 TB

Our first HiSeq is being validated now

For 1 36X36 flowcell:

48G per lane .cif data (Intensities/L00X folders)
3.3G per lane of _pos.txt files
200M per lane of .filter files
6.1G per lane of .bcl data (BaseCalls/L00x folders)
40G per lane of _qseq.txt files

Size of BaseCalls folder after BclConverter: 193G
Total size (Intensities/BaseCalls) 728G

You don't have to keep the .cif and the .bcl files, but I wanted to test if running Bustard from .cif gave the same results as Bclconverter -- it did almost exactly.
