Re: What would you do with 1 PB of drive space?

i'd download the internet!

or maybe i'd probably partition it and give some to the homeless...

just to give an idea... 1 PB is:

800,000 days (over 2000 years) of 128kbit audio (MP3, AAC, WMA, doesn't really matter)
72,000 days (almost 200 years) of uncompressed CD-grade audio
8,000 days (22 years) of uncompressed 96k/24bit 5-channel audio
40,000 days (110 years) of 1 GB/hour TiVo basic-grade MPEG2 video
10,000 days (27 years) of 4 GB/hour TiVo best-grade MPEG2 video
5,000 days (almost 14 years) of ATSC compressed HDTV
3500 days (almost 10 years) of video from a DV video camera (they don't compress well)
200,000 DVD-R disks
50,000 double-sided, double-layer DVDs
1,000 hours (almost 6 straight weeks) of uncompressed HDTV video
7.3 million raw images from Canon 1Ds camera (15 MB each)
