Hitachi Sanrise 32 Petabyte Array
This new storage solution from Hitachi is capable of storing 32PB, or 32,000 terabytes... or 32 million gigabytes. This means its capable of holding 7 bilion MP3's (assuming they are the average size of an mp3 file -- 5mb). You could also hold 49 million movies if each one is 700 megs. To put this into perspective - IMDB, the Internet Movie Database, currently has 411,447 titles in its database. Finally... it only costs a million dollars
