I'm on some reddit tech forums and people will say "I need help storing a huge amount of data!" and people start offering replies for servers that store petabytes.
My question is always "How much data do you actually have?" Many times you they reply with 500GB or 2TB. I tell that that isn't much data when you can get 1TB micro SD card the size of a fingernail or a 24TB hard drive.
My feeling is that if you really need to store petabytes of data that you aren't going to ask how to do it on reddit. If you need to store petabytes you will have an IT team and substantial budget and vendors that can figure it out.
