It’s cool they actually do it like that, but transferring that amount of data locally still takes some non-trivial time. > When your Snowmobile is on site, AWS personnel will work with your team to connect a removable, high-speed network switch from Snowmobile to your local network and you can begin your high-speed data transfer from any number of sources within your data center to the Snowmobile. At the maximal throughput of 1 Tbps, 100 PB of data would still take almost 10 days to copy. It may very well be “mmapped” onto S3/Glacier API on the AWS side, but a copy is still necessary on the customer’s side.
