Last night I posted about how the STK 9710 has max capacity of more than
40TB compressed, and I lamented that it may not be right for our "history of the present" exhibit after all because nobody has 40TB in their pocket. Corey pointed out that cloud storage should count in the equation. Google Drive accounts give you up to 10TB for $99. Dropbox will sell you an "unlimited" account for $15/month. So technically, yes, you can access 40TB in your pocket-sized device... or at least * from * your pocket-sized device.
All those tape fraudsters...
40TB in tape probably means *5TB uncompressed

(Yes, I know their false marketing was normally assuming 2:1 compression)
