I'm on a night shift at the moment at a TV company i work at now and again, and feeling a little bored while I was waiting for a video server to reboot (takes about 10 mins) I did a very quick top up of all the storage we have in the central app room.

Came to around 57 Terrabytes!! (57000 Gbytes)

You could store a whole lotta MP3's on there!!

I am not into one-up-manship but we have over 1000 TB's at the moment!!! I am just glad that I don't have to look after it all.

It's not hooked up to the web, we use them for storing and transmitting the progs on the disney channels (nothing comes off tape anymore!!)

At work we have one of the largest databases in the UK and thats only just a Terabyte.

So tuffer.
How does one store 1,000 terrabytes?
That would be 5,000 200 gig hard drives.
Or is there some other storage medium?

At work we have a chassis with 10 or 12 x 73Gig hot-swappable SCSI drives in a RAID array, so 730Gig or 876Gig per chassis, and racks and racks of them! Probably about 70ish.
