According to Chris Pacia's article the Web is over 3 Exabytes.

Server PC with 10 drives at 60TB (unreleased high capacity) Drives = 600 Terabytes.

Too small for single full chain of whole internet.

1 Exabyte is 1,048,576 Terrabytes

"To put this in perspective, the web is currently adding 3 exabytes of new data per day."

Let's say BSV split workload into 100 subchains/Block Producers

600TB x 100 Server PCs = 60,000 Terrabytes

So basically splitting chain into 100 "Shards" wouldn't even come close to 3 exabytes.

Does anyone know of any servers that can hold more than 60TB per drive?
