My math says they're already over 1000 PB/1 EB: 1,089,318 = 4 * 2852 + 4 * 12746 + 8 * 1000 + 12 * 1560 + 12 * 10859 + 4 * 19211 + 6 * 886 + 8 * 9809 + 8 * 144

My math says they're already over 1000 PB/1 EB:
1,089,318 = 4 * 2852 + 4 * 12746 + 8 * 1000 + 12 * 1560 + 12 * 10859 + 4 * 19211 + 6 * 886 + 8 * 9809 + 8 * 14447 + 10 * 1200 + 12 * 37004 + 12 * 7215 + 4 * 99 + 14 * 3619
Don't think I made a typo there, but please check my work. Even counting as 1024 TB = 1 PB and 1024 PB = 1 EB, that leaves 1,048,576 TB = 1 EB and they're over that threshold.
The February 5, 2018 "500 Petabytes and Counting" blog post should soon be eclipsed by a 1 EB post - though it appears they're counting actual data stored, not capacity. Nonetheless, with some redundancy, extra capacity, and overhead, we'll likely see that number soon.
