Goats as a picture? Seriously? Am I allowed to put real pictures of Camp Williams up, or is that a breach of national security? I have thousands of pictures of the place. pew pew pew 23:52, 31 March 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alanlemagne (talk • contribs)

Do the maths

A yottabyte is a gross overestimate of its storage capacity, likely by 3-6 orders of magnitude.

If you work it out, 1 yottabyte = roughly 10^24 bytes. Assume the data centre keeps profiles on EVERYONE in the world (already overestimating by far). Then assume the world has ten billion people (another over estimate, rounded up to make the numbers nice). That still leaves you with 100TB storage dedicated to EVERY individual in the world. There simply isn't that much data relating to people. Even if you stored every single thing a person ever downloaded you would still be hard pushed to use that much storage, and that's WITH millions of redundant copies of data.

Then there's the fact of size. A 100TB file storage system can easily fill a 4U rack unit. Even assuming they use tape to store things, it's still a ridiculous amount of physical space. Basically when you work things out, it's completely prohibitive.

TL;DR, that figure needs fixing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.179.67 (talk) 16:46, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
