"Current projections by the trade body Information Storage Industry Consortium show that although hard drives will be able to store 3 terabytes a piece in a decade's time, that still amounts to at least 120,000 drives a year." huh?

"3 terabytes" should be "3 petabytes". ADDED. Withdrawn: see child comment.

  That would be 120 drives/year, not 120,000.
