  • 70 TB???

    70 TB wouldn't occupy more space than a volume of a desktope PC.

  • @AnasTangi This video was shot half a decade ago.

  • @chuckgoolsbee Yeah I know, but I don't remember that a 1 TB occupied a lot of space in 2007.

    Or is it 70TB per rack??? I'm a bit confused

  • @AnasTangi 70TB made up of 250GB drives.

  • Thta's a whole lot of Dell to the right, I was expecting to see xServe's

  • We've got several hundred Xserves here, just not in this area of the facility.

  • you guys are missing the point that these are server-grade hdd's...

    this setup would have costed a fortune

  • @AnasTangi it would in 07.... this is back when hard drives were like, ~200 GB a piece at the big end.

  • @WilliamSummerbell Mate I know the difference between Tera and Giga (17 years in computers...), I have a few HD of 1 TB each one, and the size is not bigger than a DVD drive (20 x 20 x 3 cm more or less).

    You do the maths...or just click on the videos on the right side.

  • @AnasTangi youre thinking of GB, 70TB would be 70,000GB's. Good luck fitting that in a desktop computer.

  • 40x 2TB Blacks BAM.. 4 years later hahaha!

  • @fattylars english:WARNING!

    ALL TOURIST AND NONTEKNISCHEN LOOKENPEEPERS!

    THE KOMPUTERMASCHINE IS NOT FOR THE MIDDLE AND GEFINGERPOKEN DIG! ODERWISE IS EASY TO JUMP snapping of the WORK, AND BLOWENFUSEN POPPENCORKEN WITH SPITZENSPARKSEN.
