i dont know much about AWS but while I was waiting for team fortress 2 to install i read thru and this stood out to me:
> 2015 October 7
> Product (data migration)
> AWS launches Snowball, a physical appliance with 50 TB of storage and a Kindle on the side. Customers can get a Snowball for 10 days for $200, during which they can fill it with data and then ship it back to Amazon. The Snowball costs $15 for every additional day kept. This is the second generation of their data import/export hardware after a previous release in
2009
i wonder what kind of things people shipped around that required 50TB in physical storage. ten years later, 50TB still sounds like a lot today
