To be clear, the first quote was talking about 2^64 bytes, and you're talking about 2^64 blocks.
Edit: Though confusingly the second part talked about 2^128 blocks.
Also these days I'd assume 4KB blocks instead of 512 bytes.

So it not only could theoretically be done, but has been done. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_S3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_S3
