Glass in the World’s First Petabyte Hard Disk Drive Microsoft was able to put 75.6TB of data onto fused silica, which is a 2.5-inch hard disk drive. According to Seagate CTO John Morris, its R&D lab will also use glass for its optical data storage.
Do petabyte hard drives exist?
Petabyte storage is already well underway. Most enterprise storage systems are in the petabyte range these days. Only small to medium size businesses are in the <1PB range. Typically a small business will order in the range of about 200TB for their nearline tier1 storage.
Are 2TB Usbs real?
The 2TB USB drives you see being sold online are part of a scam that also includes fake memory cards that not only boast of cheap huge capacity but of top-notch read and write speeds.
What can you do with 1 petabyte?

With an average run time of 2 hours, it would take you over 2.5 years of nonstop binge watching to get through a petabyte’s worth of 4k movies. The Library of Congress contains over 20 petabytes of data.
Do 1TB USB exist?
