I don't feel like a petabyte is a lot of data anymore. Sun's Thumper is a 4RU cabinet containing 48 disks. If you had a rack full (10 thumpers: 40 rack units)

Sun's Thumper is a 4RU cabinet containing 48 disks. If you had a rack full (10 thumpers: 40 rack units) with 2TB disks, that is 1 raw/unformatted petabyte.
