When you need to download every show on Netflix, but don’t have much time

[–] Glowstick@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

3.14 petabytes in the whole Netflix catalog

x 1000 converts to TB

/ 402 TB per second

= 7.81 seconds

EDIT oh this is Tb, not TB, so

x 8 to convert bit to Byte

= 62.5 seconds

You would use a large cluster of servers all stuffed full of enterprise grade SSDs if you need that kind of write speed.
