SEER-Medicare: File Sizes & Distribution
Data will be sent to investigators on CDs or DVDs. Researchers pay a set fee for the
cost of the media. The number of CDs or DVDs required
will vary according to the number of years requested and the size of the requested site
file. In general, the number of CDs required is seven times the number of DVDs.
The data files will be encrypted using WinZip (256bit AES encryption) and password-protected.
The data files will also be compressed using the GZIP compression utility. A
program will be made available to unzip the files onto the user's PC in the directory that
the user specifies. The PC must be equipped with Windows NT, Windows 95 or later. GUNZIP
is necessary to unzip the files if using a UNIX or Linux machine.
The following table provides some examples from recent productions. Numbers provided
are estimates of files sizes in gigabytes, number of CDs and number of DVDs for one major
cancer site (lung) and for four major cancer sites combined (breast, colorectal, lung and
prostate). Also shown are estimates and media requirements for the entire cancer and
non-cancer databases. These estimates are for unzipped files.
