8 PB?
Anyone care to work out how big physically an array with 8PB would be,
using today's 200G disk drives?

Say something like 4000 4U high arrays??
That's ten arrays to a rack, so 400 racks.
And a bloody strong floor to hold it!

Just thinking outloud, fibrechannel is supposed to scale to that sort
of size...
