It’s worth learning from an organization that does the work of preservation of paper on a truly massive scale:
“The 4RU chassis can be fitted with 106 3.5-inch hard drives…”
106 x 29 = 3074 terabytes
2.5 petabytes = 2500 terabytes
3074 - 2500 = 574 terabytes
574 / 29 = 19.79 so about 19 or 20 drives out of the total 106 used for (parity? hot swap?).
I have a feeling that this might be slightly out of my budget.
Keep in mind that Black Friday and Cyber Monday just happened.
