I've worked with dozens of large financial firms, and even the largest databases don't come close to this size. There is either some kind of insane media storage happening or the guy doesn't know the difference between a GB and TB.

I work in science computing and 50 TB is more than some bioinformatics work uses. There's no way the person in the article actually uses that much.

Yeah, I'm thinking the drive storage might be 50TB because they got ripped off and he doesn't realize the actual size of the files.
