I know memory is fairly cheap but e.g. there are millions of new videos on youtube everyday, each probably few hundred MBs to few GBs. It all has to take enormous amount of space. Not to mention backups.

    It’s still wild to imagine. That’s amillions hard drives, times a couple times over for redundancy over regions and for failures. Then the backups.

    Remember when Google started by networking old office computers?
