> enough space to store about 100 million documents, 4 million photos or 7500 hours of HD video

This is my favorite type of corporate weasel-wording. 35TB would actually only be enough for 260 hours of HD video from my camera (300 megabits per second ≈ 0.135 terabytes per hour).




Only 97 hours of iPhone ProRes 4k video, which is 6 GB per minute.


Pretty much! I wrote exactly the same in a previous thread, in nowadays standards, 5 TiB is barely enough for a home storage let alone business or even enterprise!

Probably because "HD" refers to 720p video. It's a relic of it's time.
