I would assume this is all for server farm use ... what with the cloud and all.

Yeah, or as my buddy who is an ISP points out, “Data Center” nowadays generally is a euphemism for “My Porn Stash” ;-)

Video playout servers...huge market, tremendous thirst for high capacity, low latency, low power.

That’s almost enough room to store all the B&W photos of Obama’s mother posing naked for porn magazines.

My first hard drive had a capacity of 20 megs. We are rapidly approaching the point where an inexpensive external hard drive will store a million times that much.

The first HD I had was 5MB Winchester. It was better than the 8” floppies we had to carefully store.
And we had to write our programs in Z80 ASM
AND WE LIKED IT!!!

A 64 bit address space is in excess of 180,000 terabytes.

My wife gave me a 20 meg drive as a Christmas present when we had our original Mac 128...oh, the thrill of such massive, nearly unlimited storage compared to those floppy drives! I remember it cost $600.
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
At some point they're going to hit a physical limit on how much data they can fit on a 3.5" drive. But they're obviously not there yet. They smashed through 1 TB and they're still trucking.

Ijust bought a 4 Tbyte Seagate 5900 rpm drive for less than 1/3 of that cost....before Cal State Taxes...kicked in.

Peta. I recently got a pat on the back from the boss for cramming our enterprise backups into ONLY three servers with 36 TB internal storage apiece. A tenth of a petabyte. We'll be over a petabyte before those guys come out of warranty. I figure three years, tops.
