According to the Internet Society, in 2020, the total amount of data on the Internet reached 5.2 zettabytes.
Those 5.2 zettabytes are equivalent to 5,400,000 Petabytes or also 5,400,000,000 Terabytes. There is a Nimbus ExaDrive DC that costs $40,000 and can store 100 TB.
If we divide the 5,400,000,000 TB by 100 TB, we get 54,000,000 units, and multiplying that by $40,000, we get $2,160,000,000,000.

And that unit for each GB costs 2.5 dollars.
You can get a 1TB drive for much less than $400
Don’t forget a backup, so 2.5x the cost
