To add a bit of perspective, the 4tb m.2 ssd that I just bought for around $300USD would fill a cube that is a bit over a football field in length, width, and height.

It would cost about $44 billion before inflation is factored in, or $487 billion with inflation included.

It would also use an insane amount of electricity, be a ton slower, and likely generate an enormous amount of heat.

Hoping I did the math correctly. Haven’t had coffee.

Might be faster if all drives are connected in parallel
