The New PC at Warehouse 13

Watched the episode 5 of the Warehouse 13 TV series the other night where they had characters from Eureka crossing over to the show. In this episode, they had the computer running the Warehouse upgraded to a newer machine.

Got a glimpse of the upgrade and this is what I saw:

TTD Proto CPU 4500MHz (4.5GHz)
43.4GB RAM
2,000 Petabytes HDD (4 x 500 Petabytes)

All that archiving they do on the Warehouse must require bazillions of storage — thus the four 500-petabyte hard drive they’re using here.

While the CPU speed is something not surprising these days, the 500 petabyte HDD surely catches attention. To those not familiar, 1 petabyte is 1,000 terabyte so that single HDD has a storage capacity of 500,000TB.

Warehouse 13 is a science fiction TV show on Syfy that chronicles two US Secret Service agents guarding Warehouse 13 which houses supernatural “artifacts”.

    Aw, it was an extremely good post. In idea I’d prefer to put in writing like this additionally – taking time as well as true hard work to create a very good article… however what can I say… I procrastinate much and certainly not seem to get something finished.

    SI prefixes fail… on the screen 4500mHz , the m is lower-case… so it means milli (10^-3). The mega is upper-case M (10^6).

    They could be using Raid-5 so they’re only actually using 500 petabytes. :)
