eglamkowski's Journal: forget terabytes

I need a yottabyte drive.

1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 bytes, or 1024^8, or 2^80

Man, that would sure be enough diskspace to not have to give a damn about running out of diskspace on these 2 terrabyte data processing jobs.

I wonder what the seek time would be on a disk that size... :-p

1 yottabyte should be enough for anybody.

I had a PETAbyte drive once...

But the police had to take it in after it kept defacing McDonald's website with "Meat is Murder" slogans.

I remember

Being impressed when the server room had a terabyte of storage in it at my one job...

Now it's like, "my desktop only has a terabyte, damn, gotta get an external drive..."

Problems with disks that big

[Degrees]

Sure, running Winders, the daily disk defrag time is going to run 28+ hours.... But the real question is: doing a backup to floppy disks - will the station wagon need beefed up springs? ;-)
