But google is estimated to have about 15 EXABYTES. to put that into perspective. Lets say you have a hard drive with 500GB of storage, It would take 2 million of those to equal one exabyte, and 30 million of them to have 15 exabytes

Loosely 150 pb would store about 95 different 80 year old personalities…

If it’s in single copy what happened in case of an unexpected hdd break (for example in the worst cases a mechanical problem with the heads and subsequent scratching of internal disks)? (I think smart tecnology is not always 100% correct, it’s statistic). Your data are also stored in a second location or to another data center in case of critical damage of the structure (fire, collapse, floods etc..)

It is possible, but we monitor the farm for such large-scale events and can react if needed!

Yes, very. We have noise-cancelling headphones for our techs! And ear plugs.
