The article states quite clearly (in the fourth paragraph) that the amount of data in question is 25TB. It later mentions that the data was spread across 32 servers and that lawyers compared it to the amount of data in 100 laptops - which would fix the lawyers' estimate for the average amount of data in a laptop at around 250GB. I haven't bought a laptop recently, but that sounds like an entirely reasonable guesstimate to me. The comparison seems like an appropriate way of conveying the order of magnitude of the amount of data that needs to be searched to a non-technical audience. This thread adds nothing interesting to the conversation. Please just stop.
