You think wrong

100TB SSD from Nimbus, https://nimbusdata.com/products/exadrive-platform/scalable-s...

That website doesn't list a price, but I doubt that running a rack of these would be cost-effective. I wouldn't be surprised if those drives have a cost per terabyte at least a couple of times that of commodity drives.

Are you using this in prod? I’d be very surprised. I wouldn’t use this for prod data.

Not yet, but people are looking into them

My point is, you could fit all those Uber data (I know, I know, replication, sync etc) into racks in the SINGLE well cooled room in datacenter, managed by 2 guys per shift.

And this is not "Big" as far as I can see.

Probably will speed up their queris/analytics as well all things being local
