Very nice. You could store 29 days of everything transitted on Freeview (23
after switchover).
Moore's law says you're going to get it in a 36TB in a single drive in five
years though...

Hmm, not sure it doesn't doesn't Moore's law actually say that the
density of transistors will double every 18 months?

Quite - I'm not aware that Moore said anything about the density of
magnetic storage! Kryder's law is mentioned here:

Also, this is old but may be relevant (the projections don't seem to
be more than an order of magnitude off the mark, if that):
The first hard drive we had a school was a Winchester for the BBC Micro
network, it was a full hight 5.25 drive, and it had a capacity of 10
megabytes.
By the time I installed servers when I was a BT Broadcast, server drive were
half hight and in the 3 size, with capacities in single gigabytes.
