Wow. Is there a page with more information? I found this picture where they'd just bought a few hundred brand new 4 TB drives: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org

  Oh wow, hadn't seen that one -- that was in the aftermath of the 2011 Thailand floods that seriously impacted hard drive availability, there was almost nothing in the supply channel so we had to shuck external drives. Sadly there's not really a great one-stop page for this kind of info -- https://archive.org/web/petabox.php https://archive.org/web/petabox.php exists but is sadly outdated (I'll see about rewriting it sometime). We do public tours on Friday afternoons of the main office/datacenter (and our big annual event is coming up next Wednesday if you happen to be in the Bay Area: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/world-night-market-the-internet-archives-annual-bash-tickets-73912162267 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/world-night-market-the-internet... )
