cost help: How much would it cost for One exabyte? - Help.com

it equals 1000000000000000000 megabytes?

There is currently no such drive in existence, there is no software that can fully make use of such a drive, and there is no reason you will ever need one. However, for the sake of answering your question to the best possible extent, let’s break it down.

1 terabyte = 1000 megabytes
1 petabyte = 1000 terabytes
1 exabyte = 1000 petabytes

Therefore, 1 exabyte = 1 Million Terrabytes.

Currently the largest single hard drive capacity is 3TB. See source link. They cost $200 each

1,000,000TB / 3TB per drive = You would need 333,334 of these hard drives.

333,334 * $200 each = A total cost of $66,666,800

So a 1 Exabyte hard drive would cost roughly $70 Million dollars.

oh i guess my calculation was a bit off then, i thought it would only cost about 600.

what’s the problem?he/she needs the answer and i find it.btw,i didn’t say it’s mine.

i still think it’s off!

Its still the answer cero! - If you think that is off you kind of have to say that any link we have ever given to somewhere else is also off… ;)

(although I will admit that I wouldn’t have flagged it - I was about to do the working myself which is why it got a flag :P)

it would be correct to pin the source always
instead of adorn oneself with borrowed plumes

no i think the calculation is off

every one has right to answer every question from him/herself or borrowing answer.
it’s important that we answer correctly and could help users.
coping from other sites is not a bad action,helping is important.
just read the answer and try not to find its source.

but you earned an award
for nothing than copying
is that the way you earn credits for your school work too?
brave new world!

ok my dears - we can stop now :)

question answered, OP helped and we know where it came from - everyone is happy!

Rein it in before you get the mods on a post-deleting spree!

my all votes aren’t copied answer,be sure that if i was wrote the source,i would earned vote again,
sometimes questions need link answers,you can’t fuss me because of my answer.

just to correct your math

1024Kilob = 1MegaB
1024MegaB = 1GigaB
1024GigaB = 1TeraB
1024TeraB = 1PetaB
1024PetaB = 1ExaB

so based on a 3TB drive capacity

1 PetaB = (1024/3) = 341.3 Drives
1 ExaB = (341.3 * 1024) = 349184 Drives

cost = 349,184 * ex($200)
= $69,836,800

HA! I KNEW IT!
