I don't have any intention on buying one, but say I wanted to buy a petabit of storage how much would it cost? I cant find anything on the internet so I thought I'd ask on here.

petabyte, not petabit.

But...4TB is the current largest mainstream drive. 6TB drives are coming online, but not quite yet.

So...a petabyte is 1000 TB
250 4TB drives at ~$200 each = $50,000.
I'm sure buying in bulk would get you a discount.
