1.68 petabytes of raw storage

(it’s RAID 10, though, so the usable storage is half that)

You're gonna need a bigger boat.

I asked Google to translate petabytes into megabytes and it returned one of those weird numbers that has a "e" in it so I still don't know how many but I know it's majorly big.

1024 Megabytes is a Terabyte
1024 Terabytes is a Petabytye
so 1024 * 1024 megabytes is a petabyte

I wonder how much entropy this added to the universe.

I just shrunk down a 60 lb. Mac Pro with 7 hard drives in it to 1 4TB NVMe M.2 SSD and was pretty excited about that... clearly, I need to up my game.

I've only got 126GB over 15 drives... This is some serious storage! I assume it's for work/client?

@jaywarrietto yep, it's being deployed for an HPC client. We do a few of these big storage servers a year. As drive capacities go up, they're a really cost effective alternative to cloud storage.
