It's theoretically possible to make one by building RAID arrays from RAID arrays.

How much of an act does Linus put on? I'd rather not believe he's anywhere near that grating all the time in real life.

If you need that much space then it makes no sense to go with a single drive. Buy an array and RAID 5/6 that shit.

Why would it not make sense? A 250 gb external hdd made sense 10 years ago, without need to raid an array, so 10 years later it's surprising 250 tb external hdd hasn't entered the market yet.

From a customer stand point, it's stupid to have a single point of failure for that much data.

From a business stand point, the market for a petabyte drive would be fairly small.

So it's better to have them spread out over multiple storage devices? Kinda defeats the purpose of a storage device not to mention the convenience, but I get it in that regard.

No. The array will present itself to your OS as one big drive. If you have an array with (4) 1TB drives in it, your OS will see (1) 4TB partition. The convenience is the same plus you have disaster recovery if you have the proper RAID config.

I more than likely won't, but I can definitely see the very high appeal if I were into anything pc configuration related.
