As a computational physicist, I often hear people in industry talk about "big data" and then laugh when I understand the amount of data they're talking about. I once accidentally wrote a hundred TiB to tape as part of a side project.

CERN is on a whole other level.

"Big data" used to be thrown around a lot. It's not "big data" if it could fit on any kind of single PC available commercially.
