Momo has ~97TB of storage?!
Err, so what ?
The human brain, they say, has 200 TB RAM. So 97 TB seems to be about right for an artificial AI that needs to have enough power to act as if its an intelligent lifeform.
Your fascination reminds me of the guys who, about 15 years ago, have been super impressed by a machine that hat, whow, unbelievable 24 MB of RAM. When normal home computers had 4 or 8 MB of RAM.
But at the same time I was working all the time at unix work stations that had 64 MB of RAM and their fascination silently amused me quite a lot.
Today even the oldest and weakest computer I know of in my environment has 1 GB RAM (and is swapping a lot), my one year old notebook has 4 GB RAM (the lowest that model can have in the first place, and as notebook memory is extremely expensive, I'm not gonna get more than that) and my next computer will probably have 8 or 16 GB RAM.
And Harddisks are kind of stuck at 2 TB size since about 2 years or so, because they did not only hit a definition problem (cant boot from HDs larger than 2TB because many bios cant handle it, but they also hit a physical barrier and the future probably lies in SSDs which apparently get cheaper by the minute. My one year old notebook has a 256 GB SSD which, back then, cost 700 Euro. Nowadays you can already get the same size for half the price. 256 GB is not very much, by the way.
So yeah, I expect that in 10 to 20 years, 100 TB could be the normal storage size of home computers.
Also, about actually getting 97 TB of memory: We are already seeing 3 TB harddisks, so making a disk array that has 97 TB storage is no biggie. One 3 TB cost about 120 Euro right now, and with no redundancy you would need 33 of them, for a total of 33*120 = 3960 Euro. Lets also factor in that HD producers are computing their TBs in a creative way (1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 Byte to them, while usually 1 TB = 1024*1024*1024*1024 Byte = 1,099,511,627,776 Byte), so thats another 10% we want on top (puts us at 36 HDs), and add that we of course want redundancy. Lets get that ZFS of Solaris and make an X3 array of X3 arrays, i.e. we need 3 more systems in it. So we get 9*9 disks now, which is 81, for a total cost of 81*120 = 9720 for the hard disks alone. Then we also need processing power to compute all the redundancy, and storage space etc, so lets double the price for the whole system, then we would need to pay just about 20,000 Euro for this now.
Yeah, more expensive than your average computer. But far from being beyond imagination.
Granted, we cant carry around such an array. But its save to assume that in 10 to 20 years, we WILL be able to carry around such amounts of data.
