some intelligence sources such as GCHQ and the NSA grow by at least 48 petabytes PER MONTH , the equivalent of nearly ONE BILLION four door filing cabinets filled with files or put another way 24 TRILLION pages of text!
by way of perspective 200 petabytes is equivalent of all printed materials. Data will soon be measured in exabytes ; 5 exabytes (5,000,000,000,000,000,000) bytes represents enough information to fill 37,000 new libraries of congress and more than all the words ever printed .This is the equivalent of a 30 ft stack of books for every man woman and child on the planet.
