How some people see a number like 100TB and try to extrapolate that to some small number of hard drives you can buy from any number of places.

More likely such data is stored in a dozen or more racks of storage arrays(maybe avg 300 to 450gb enterprise FC or SAS disk sizes) for online data processing.
