Wait, journalist, 233 terabyte? Just what in the fuck did his life's work consist of?

Raw high-def video and image files? But yeah, there's unlimited and then there's kinda pushing the limits of what's reasonable. 233TB is more than the contents of some orgs' datacenters

Yeah, there are show a day YouTube production companies with a team of editors running years off a petabyte.

Certainly not impossible, but probably more of an article in the writing than an actual journalist in distress
