[@SirWrender]

Thanks for watching, everyone!! This one felt like a return to form and I’m very pleased overall with it. The team killed it! However… it seems I made a mistake about the DNA. God dang it!!!! I always try so hard to make sure my math is correct but I misread the info. It’s 215PB per GRAM of DNA, not per strand. That makes it a LOT less storage than what I wrote out, but still in the Zetabyte range so I feel the point still stands haha.

[@LPS.TIC.]

This is going to crush the kids in my class! Great video as always!

[@as46364]

My father got his start in data processing at a bank in the 70s. While he was there, they purchased a car-sized black box of core storage for $10k. It held an entire megabyte and were assured that they'd never fill it up. I remember him telling me that story when he came home one day with a 5GB HDD to install in our family PC back in '95 or '96. He proudly proclaimed that we'd never fill it up.

[@AXCBER]

​​@@Demidar dude same. Remember when we used to buy 16 gig sd cards for our phones to make them future proof? Now we need at least 512 gigs to be sure that we never fill it up. I have a total of 1.75 terabytes of storage on my pc and I need to upgrade soon. A few years ago, a terabyte of storage on pcs was good enough.

I really enjoy these scale videos. I started my lifelong data journey using audio cassette tapes. A C15 cassette holds just under 24 kilobytes per side. That's not a lot. And you had to make a note of where your program started and ended because you had to fast-forward/rewind until you got the tape into the correct position. Compared to this, 5.25 floppy disks seemed like amazing tech from the future.

The correct multiplier is always 1024, due to the base-2, and this is because there are 8 bits in 1 byte. So, 1 kilobyte (KB) is 1024 bytes, 1 megabyte (MB) is 1024 KB, and so on.

[@HobbsCreatorOfEvil]

@@zybch There there bud, one day you'll understand grammar and a writers intention. Do note that I didn't say "Wow, this is 1000% accurate" instead, I said this was my favorite video they produced. Also, when it comes to demonstrations such as this, there will inherently be factual stretches of the truth because at the end of the day, none of this information, accurate or not, integrally matters for the video. It's function is to help people on a conceptual level understand things. Such examples include black holes which have a singularity in the center. A 1 dimensional point of mass spinning in a disc around another point. Yet we describe them as massive objects. Now, we say a black hole is "massive" but that's factually untrue. Their range of effect is massive, but a black hole inherently is not. But watching a video on them will you seldom hear that information. Do you feel you gained something from the video? Evidently not, based on your stance on the matter. Is it enjoyable? /IMO/Yes. So I would say that the video can be a success regardless. Now stop being pedantic and touch some grass.

INSANELY Well Made and interesting Video through and through wrens the only Person i know who could make me WANT to learn Something I truely would have Loved you as a teacher in school Back in the day Your doing an awesome Job keep doing what your doing.

That little touch of Niko mourning the dying SD card is delightful. And as always, Wren is awesome.

The end of the video is so humbling.. To realize that at the end human is still the biggest, most badass creation ever made..

[@rajkumar_real]

WOW !!! Simply awesome, The Production value of your video its insane to watch..

[@spencermammen371]

the collaboration with linus made me so happy, im so glad we could see them interact

[@bradlucid]

I love that other people loved this as much as I did. I have a list fo KZbinr videos I look forward to watching. it used to look like this: 1. Linus Tech Tips Now it looks like this: 1. Linus Tech Tips & Corridor Crew

[@cameralabs]

Very nicely done Wren, really well scripted and presented! And bonus Linus cameo too!

[@SirWrender]

Thanks Gordon!! Your videos in fact helped me learn about cameras back when I got started! I had a Canon T2i and your reviews taught me how to use it.

[@cameralabs]

@@SirWrender that's awesome, you've made my day - no - my week! I love what you guys are doing and have huge respect for your work, so to hear that you've seen and enjoyed some of my videos is enormously flattering, thanks! Crumbs, my T2i (or 550D as we called it!) review was made back in 2010, one of my first to filmed on HDV tape I think. It's a little frightening to consider I was already FOUR years into my KZbin career at that point, but still one of the few people making cameras reviews, so it was inevitable people found me! That video is currently at 1 million views - ah the happy days before I had much competition! As a side-note I actually had two careers in mind as a teen, one in photography and the other in VFX! I obsessively read every page of Cinefex from issue 1 and even attempted some bluescreen composites at home with die-cast Star Wars models in the 80s on 35mm film! It all comes full-circle too, as when Cinefex closed its doors, I discovered you guys for my VFX BTS info and binged every react video before getting up-to-date. Keep up the good work and if I'm ever in your neck of the woods I'd love to say hello!

Fun fact: After Zettabytes, it's Yottabytes, which is 1024 Zettabytes, or around 1 trillion Terabytes! Right now, 1 Yottabytes would fit every bit of data in our world 100 times over, but if we manage to develop the singularity (with AI and stuff), we might seriously need to consider using Yottabytes.

I remember my dad coming back from a computer show (when they had those) and he bought a 128mb hard drive and he said “this is the last hard drive i’ll ever need to buy”. LOL

[@KNullHypothesis]

Your poor naive dad lmao. If I ever buy a 2.5 petabyte size server in the next few years, I'm expecting it to be available for a hundred buckaroos in 10-15 years, the way things are going. We'll probably end up with "petabyte" singular SSD-s in that period of time, almost no doubt about it. And then zetabytes the following 10 years. By this point, we're 100% operating on quantum computers so there might even be a massive jump sometime in the next 30 years.

that has to be at least 10 years ago...

4K blu-rays actually hold between 66 and 100GB depending on the movie. Standard 1080p blu-rays are between 25-50GB. So, you'd only need a stack of 10 4K's to reach a terabyte. Fun fact, if I wanted to store the entire Lord of the Rings 4K extended trilogy on my PC, it'd take up 600GB of space by itself (300GB for the theatrical cuts). You aren't streaming that anytime soon ;)

[@cenciende9401]

You're thinking of dual-layer discs, the same way dual-layer dvd's could hold 8GB. They don't count because then you'd have to start explaining layers etc.

[@SmallerSoul]

@@cenciende9401 Dual-layer makes up a vast majority of blu-rays on the market, UHD blu-rays don't come in single-layer, only dual and triple. When I said "between 25-50GB, that's referring to single vs dual-layer, whereas 66-100GB for UHD is referring to dual vs triple-layer. Easier for most people to understand a range rather than layers and whatnot

Love the jump cut to Linus really drives home the insane storage required for video production, would love to see more colabs with LTT - maybe if they still have that stupidly powerful rendering server you could try seeing how much time it saves you?
