25 million gigabytes
I had to read that a couple of times to remind myself just how big a petabyte is. It's easy to forget the incredible scale of jumping from giga to tera to peta.
- moe 14y agoIt's not very much in terms of hardware anymore. As a rule of thumb, 1PB = 1 Rack. Depending on your redundancy strategy you can fit more.

- moe 14y agoThey probably have significantly more, considering their deployment has grown over years. Storage density roughly doubles every 2 years. Would you start a new deployment from scratch today then yes, 25 racks, give or take a few (that's roughly 1.5mio dollars, give or take a few).
