Quick back of the envelope: 1 of these ~= 1333CDs or 212DVDs The increase from a CD to a DVD was by a factor of ~6.26. This is 33.8 times that factor of increase.. but no word on the speed of reading/writing in this article.. which I assume will be slow.

Your back of the envelope is off by a factor of 1000.

4.7gb * 212 ~= 1000GB. But the article says 1000TB!
