120 petabytes, 120 million gigabytes, 24 billion MP3s, 1 trillion files. That's how much IBM's new storage array holds—nearly an order of magnitude more data than the largest current system, making it the biggest hard drive array ever built.

Key quote in the article:
"While IBM built this specific array for an unnamed client"
OK, so which one of you is going to fess up that they needed this hard drive set-up to hold their runtimes? That unnamed clinet has to be a Poser user. Nobody else that I know of would ever need that much disc space :woot:
