If the entire internet's storage could be converted into real money, how much do you think each GB, TB, or PB would be worth in money? (lemmy.zip)

Data isn't really weighted the same.

There's loads of encrypted data in data centers for cold storage for years and years. There's loads of video files, movies, TV shows, documentaries, security camera footage (all these video doorbells).

You can compare a 30GB Blu-ray copy of The Matrix vs the entirety of Wikipedia and Project Gutenberg. The value of that data is incomparable.

Can't really answer your question.
