What would you put on a 1petabyte hard drive?

what would you do if you had a 1 petabyte hard drive and a gigabit internet connection?

I will download everything, hoping the hard-drive doesn't fail.
>>
>>54632937
kilo = thousand
mega = million
giga = billion
tera = trillion
peta = quadrillion

So 1 quadrillion bytes.

1 byte = 8 bits

1 petabyte = 8 quadrillion bits

How hard is this.

People need to learn the metric system, seriously.

Just put some respec on it

Nothing, I watch streaming, don't take photos, don't do back-ups. My 1.6mb/s connection and my 128GB ssd are enough for everything I do.

Start a cloud service. Hope like fuck the drive is not a seagate.

You know, the bigger the harddrives get, the more I worry about all the stuff that gets lost if the harddrive fails, especially external ones :(.
>>
>>54633170
This.
I was going to say it'd be nice to have my entire media collection on one drive (60TB+), but I'd be too worried about HDD failure.
>>
>>54633170
so we should all use 1mb hard drives instead so that we only lose 1mb if the hard drive fails.
I fail to see a flaw in your logic.
>>
>>54632981
>metric system
The US measure HDD size like this
>5.364 TF (Tractor Feet) is 1 LHL (Large Horse Lengths)
But in England they use mostly WMD (Washing Machine Drum) to measure HDD sizes
>>
>Download all music in FLAC
>Only download 1080p blu-ray or 4K movies
>Download shit tons of anime in the highest quality
>Tons of vidya

Honestly, can't think of anything else that I would ever need to keep on it. I don't think I'd be able to fill more than like 10TB anyway.

440GB of music, pictures and porn. I'll be pretty content with a 750GB SSD someday.

Sell it and put my data in the cloud anyway.

It's not the metric system. Those are SI prefixes.

>>54632937
>petabyte hard drive and a gigabit internet connection
1 petabyte are 8000000 gigabit. You'd need around 3 months of constant downloading at 1 gigabit/s to fill it up.

Hmm... what if compartmental memory? Like a thousand terrabyte hard drives stuck together, so that if one fails you only use part of it

Trade it for 1000x1TB hard disks.

Even when I did scientific computing, which results in a lot of data all told, I never needed quite that much.

>>54632987
you're not serious right?
1*10^1 Bytes is a Byte
1*10^3 Bytes is a KB
1*10^6 =MB
1*10^9 = GB
1*10^12 = TB
1*10^15 = PB
so for gb to PB
(1*10^15)/(1*10^9) = 1*10^6 or 1 million GB
im aware im missing 24/1024 parts in each conversion but cba with math sorry
