    I wonder if we put serious effort into it how many GB we could fit on 3.5" media

    Some of the biggest archives around are on magnetic tape if I remember right.

    God, I used to manage a data center that had a 128 tape Dell library, If I had that library today and a couple of LTO 9s in it...

    I don't know what I'd do with 2.3 petabytes, and the time from request to load would be abhorrent But damn it, I would do something cool
