Cool infographic from Mozy: Physical versus Digital Storage

The team at Mozy posted a new infographic that shows how our modern digital storage (on laptops, iPods, et cetera) compares to last century’s media: VHS tapes, 8-track tape and more. You can find it on their blog. And while you’re there, their “how much is a petabyte” infographic is also worth looking at. Some highlights from both:

• Worldwide datacenters use as much energy as the entire country of Sweden
• A petabyte equals 20 million filing cabinets full of text
• To tape an hour’s worth of YouTube uploads, you’d need 343 VHS tapes
• If you’d print every photo uploaded to Flickr in an hour, you’d need 384 typical photo albums to store them in
