huh?
Pfft. Spinning rust is terrible for PB of data. It would take almost 100 million "spinning rust" drives to store 14PB. Luckily, spinning cobalt alloy media is far superior. (The last iron oxide drives were sold in the early 1990s.)
Oh, while you're getting to be a word nazi, the term spinning rust is meant as a reference to hard drives.
But to your point spinning drives at 12TB per drive. 100 drives is 1.2PB. 1,167 drives is 14PB.
Now I thought that there were larger drives... like 14TB so that would be 1000 drives.
