This can’t be right. 2 PB of flash is like $200k. It’s within reach of many individuals. Then again I guess you don’t need that much storage so maybe it is.

Also my first thought: "Is that... a lot?"

You can put 6PB (244TB * 24) into a single box these days.

More like $1M at current prices at this scale / level of performance.

If you go with HDD arrays probably $50k

Your numbers are a little off but the point remains- 2PB is nothing, not newsworthy imo. What’s special about this?
