A 1U rack with 20 of such drives can hold over 1.2 PB of data per rack unit, which greatly optimizes server space. A single rack can accommodate up to 44.2 PB with this setup, achieving a 67% increase in density compared to traditional 2U racks that hold 'only' 26.5 PB.

Those are some insane numbers.
- If you've got that kind of dosh, you should definitely do it and then back up the internet archive.
  
  internetarchive.org currently is storing 145 PB. So you'd need only 4 of these track units would backup the entire internet archive
  
  You would need a setup that supports the E3.S form factor. I can't imagine this being cheap unless you can procure 2nd hand hardware.
- Imagine all the porn you could save on that.
I read Macron and was wondering how the French suddenly had that one in the bag as a country.
