And that got me thinking to how much 50 petabytes would cost... From https://www.backblaze.com/blog/petabytes-on-a-budget-10-years-and-counting/ https://www.backblaze.com/blog/petabytes-on-a-budget-10-year... on September 24, 2019. ----------------------------------------------------- Storage Pod 1.0 allowed us to store one petabyte of data for about $81,000. Today we’ve lowered that to about $35,000 with Storage Pod 6.0. ----------------------------------------------------- Obviously they paid more in storage in the past than today and it is a different solution but if you were to buy 50 PetaBytes today in one of Backblaze's Storage Pod 6.0s it would be $1,750,000. And there is ongoing maintenance & costs of drive failures. I feel the need to donate to Internet Archive soon, as I have greatly benefited from it in the past and am sure to in the future too!
