A fair comparison with AMS-IX would perhaps need to factor in the time spent reading/writing the tapes though. Compressed LTO-9 tapes can be fully read in about 12.5 hours, so assuming for sake of argument that your car contains 6422 compressed tapes with a total of 289PB of data on them already, and that you have (a rather expensive) array of 26 LTO-9 drives at your disposal in Rotterdam, you'll need about 130 days to fully read their data. The hour of driving across Holland is rather insignificant compared to that. All in all, you get 'only' 26 GB per second, limited to that only by having 26 drives.
