Oh sorry, I wasn't trying to bag on you. I was curious what it takes to store 1/3PB these days, and even at $15k it's surprisingly cheap.

A few days ago I bought an 18TB enterprise grade hard drive from a hardware refurbishing company for 170 bucks. I assume he can find a home for his data for around $3500 (if he chooses to not have any redundancy)
