This is maybe a bit sad!!

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!!

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!!)

A Petabyte?

Jesus christ!

By March between two of us we should have a Terabyte of MP3's which isnt bad going.

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

What on earth are you storing on all that disc?

In that case I am suprised he can see the servers let alone total the storage...

Ours are used to store and query the logfiles from several thousand firewalls, routers and IDS devices.

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.
