Interesting tidbit from Mozy -- Where does all the Computer Power Go

To help you further visualize the petabyte: one petabyte is roughly one thousand terabytes, one million gigabytes, or one billion megabytes. That's the space of 10,000 laptops, each with a 100 GB hard drive, on which you could store approximately one of the following:
  • 13.3 years of HD-TV video
  • 10 million yards of books on a shelf
  • 20 million four-drawer filing cabinets filled with text
  • 250 million mp3 songs
Mozy currently stores more than 15 petabytes of customer files.

Its amazing how much data the online backup companies like Mozy and MyOtherDrive.com store on their systems. Its great that they put out these statistics so people get an idea just how expansive Online storage has become.
