Disks or any electro-mechanical device, may not be the only, or principle, means of storage. So capacity may not be the measure of capability.
The need for speed of access to and processing of data requires the data to be in active memory all the time. Arrayed, large CPU-like "chips" or solid state (best is unsolid state) processors make data constantly usable, always up to date, no lag time, no wear and tear.
Physical disks use too much energy and require too much architecture to rack, interconnect, house, energize, maintain, repair, replace,
update.
And are way too slow and clunky.
However, this doesn't mean Utah Data Center is not useful as a Potemkin deception. Or that much of it is Potemkin deception. Why else make it so observable during funding, design, construction and afterwards a juicy easily photographed, concentrated target of sneaky weaponry of hardware, software, sneakerware, hey come attack us ware.
Somewhere, in Utah, or the planet, there are data handlers about which little is publicly known except as miniaturized examples on personal playthings. Meanwhile we are fed out of date fantasies of capability based on xxx-bytes of increasingly absurd prefixes which are like innumerable angels on pinheads.
One way to spot what's what is to look at the generators of facilities. And their fuel tanks. Fully active data require a lot of uninterruptable juice. We traced the power lines for UDC and found they lead far astray, also Potemkin. Could be the generators and fuel tanks are too.
This is not to suggest Snowden pushing crypto and dribbling docs are Potemkin. Could be, though, so slow and clunky, so observable, and publishable for those willing to suspend disbelief.

sheer quantity of false information on Fox News, and it's popularity, are a serious harm to America.
Is it that free markets only perform properly with rational agents?
