I have 48TB usable storage at home and it cost a lot to set up. Where do these guys store 390TB of data?! I’d love to keep a local copy.
Some people have access to corporate cast-offs, so there are some people sat on massive supplies of used gear… It all disappears somewhere eventually 🤭
Ah, good point. I had a few 1u servers from work but never got many disks. They always had to be destroyed with an actual certificate of destruction… Everything else was taken to recycling in my personal vehicle.
I can tell you right now that not everything that goes to recycler and gets a cert even gets wiped.
Someone, somewhere said it was, therefore, the box is ticked.
And this will remain so until there isn’t an economic imperative.
Tape, probably.
