@brad @trisweb @neurovagrant not convinced 10PiB of data in any form would fit in a station wagon.

@rysiek @trisweb @neurovagrant Indeed - and the price for 2500 4TiB SSDs would bankrupt several small and medium-sized nations.

@rysiek @brad @trisweb @neurovagrant Guys, do your calculations. Going with the 24TB Seagate ST24000DM001, you'd need 417 HDDs, weighing in at 290kg with a volume (densely packed) of 163l, all easily fitting even in a small car, and costing about 234k€ at consumer prices. (Which is sad, because I was gonna boast the qualities of the Mercedes W123 station wagon with its huge space and hydraulic rear axle, able to be loaded with a few 100kg over the official spec).
