https://aws.amazon.com/snowmobile never underestimate the bandwidth of...a shipping container full of disks? REALLY? 100 Petabytes. Computing, it's different now.

Lemme put it this way: Scale here is large enough that if they want to use flash instead of spinning disks, they don't need to mess around with hacked up form factors. They can just go buy 100PB of flash.
I'm not saying actually using microSD cards would be the sane way, just using the form factor as a reference. It *is* about as dense as storage gets.
