Same. I worked for a storage company and when we broke 1PB per rack we broke a freight elevator moving one to a different floor, had to buy a new rack lift for the storage nodes, and eventually had to actually have structural engineers come in and assess if the building could handle converting the test lab to fit a few dozen of them.
I checked in on my old employer recently and they’re up to 58PB in 42U now
