Would the tech dwarfs choose to store all the data they ever came across, forever?

  They'd be stupid not to

    That's not true. Storing data has costs. And not just hard drives. There are organizational risks in keeping data forever. Analytics could be needlessly complex with excessive data retention. Just store the data you need.

  Even if they didn't, I'm willing to bet that most datacenters are dominated by compute, not storage.
