EMC has launched its first petabyte array, a version of the company's flagship Symmetrix DMX-3
system that includes nine room-filling cabinets of drives. The Symmetrix DMX-3 system is built
around 500GB drives; the petabyte version includes a whopping 2,400 of them and goes for about $4 million.

I'm never going to fill that with just 4Mbps internet, must find 1Gbps minimum (and that would still take ages).

Surely you can afford a puny 1Gbit connection if you've bought one of those

Ah, good point, but I would have to move from the UK as there is nothing of the sort here.
