Contrast: Petabox, from the Internet Archive.

Density: 1.4 PetaBytes / rack

Power consumption: 3 KW / PetaByte

No Air Conditioning, instead use excess heat to help heat the building.

Raw Numbers as of August 2014:

4 data centers, 550 nodes, 20,000 spinning disks

Wayback Machine: 9.6 PetaBytes

Books/Music/Video Collections: 9.8 PetaBytes

Unique data: 18.5 PetaBytes

Total used storage: 50 PetaBytes

Costs are $2/GB, lifetime, I believe.
