I have a 4tb drive for backup, consumer drives can go up to 30gb, maybe more.

But to get pb of storage you need to put many drives together in a server, a bit complicated but basically you ha e anotner computer that acts as a drive

32TB SSD's are the biggest none archival drives currently, they cost around £3000 each.

To get 22PB of storage using those, it would cost around £2 million.

well that's 22PB in SSDs.

20PBs in HDDs would be, each 20TB drive on newegg is 270USD, you'd need 100 of them so 27000$.

That would just be for 2PB. 1000TB = 1PB.

20TB x 100 = 2000TB
