“TB is the norm, and we have a few PB filesystems.”
For what it’s worth, the largest available hard disk is 20 TB and the largest solid state storage medium is 16 TB.

I’ve wondered how many bits can be put on a square inch of hard drive, and also per square inch of chip.
No telling how many square feet of chips we have on this earth now.
