What's the hardware spec for Google Colaboratory?

Question

I load some (not so) big data into it. A compressed file at 9GB. It can't decompress because the disk space is not enough.

What's the current hardware spec? What's the disk size?

Answer 1

You can see the disk information using a command like !df -h. To see CPU specs, !cat /proc/cpuinfo. For memory, !cat /proc/meminfo.

Answer 2

Here I run some test.
