8 EiB of data (in case we want addresses using signed integers) is around 20 metric tons of micro-SD cards one TB each (assuming they weigh 2g each). This could probably fit in a single shipping container.
- hnuser123456 4y agoshipping container = 40x8x8ft microsd card = 15x11x1mm, 0.5g fits 437,503,976 cards = 379 EiB, costs $43.7B 219 metric tons 8 EiB ~ 10,000,000 TB = fills the shipping container 2.2% high or 56mm or 2 inches, 5 metric tons, costs $1B shipping containers are rated for up to 24 metric tons, so ~40 EiB $5B 10 inches of cards etc
- bombcar 4y agoDon’t underestimate the bandwidth of a shipping container filled with SD cards.

That's a standard shipping container [0], which is less than I thought it would be.
