Not gonna lie, it’s a lot. A looooooot. But these data centers are pretty massive. Let’s say it took 1 6 story apartment building packed with hard drive racks to do it. Well adding a 2nd building isn’t that much of a problem. Even 4 more isn’t a problem. Sure eventually we’ll run out of space but actually technology is improving and what used to be a hard drive to store 256mb, is now storing 16tb in the same physical space.
