    How do you not notice a petabyte of surprise egress?

        I’ve worked with a ton of rack storage servers that handle like 45 disks. Even using older tech like 12-16TB drives you can get half a petabyte of usable space on one server even with raid array redundancies, etc.

        Before the stupid AI hardware craze, these old enterprise servers were super cheap too, the main cost of running them was the power lol.

            Eh, I have about 96tb of storage at home but a lot of it is backups, the actual data it holds is ~20tb. There are loads of homelabs bigger than my 2 server setup.
