> 1,000 TB (1PB) can be easily handled across ~150 (6-7TB)HDDs for one copy Yea, our latest storage pod (https://www.backblaze.com/blog/open-source-data-storage-server/ https://www.backblaze.com/blog/open-source-data-storage-serv...) has 60 drives at about 8TB a piece so we're pushing 480TB. Two pods are about a Petabyte, if you go up to the 16TB Hard Drives some of the manufacturers are testing, you can hit pretty close to 1PB in an enclosure, and Dropbox is actually doing that already with their "Diskotech" boxes (HN link -> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11282948 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11282948) - so folks are already getting more and more dense :D
