No need to store all the data.
One can probably leave out all the torrents, youtube and netflix videos that fly across the internet. Stick to text of emails, calls and chats only. Suddenly you only need a few thousand drives.

Even if you do need that data, you can probably dedupe the large sites fairly easily. Save one copy, then just record the ID of the video watched/downloaded.
