A SAN with a volume manager, or just a big enough RAID NAS could be it. You need mere 36 8TB drives, not even a full Backblaze pod.


36 x 8TB = (roughly) 288TB raw storage.

The overhead (depends on partition/filesystem/etc layout) would probably take that under 281TB.

Adding a few more drives would still probably be needed to hold the file, and add some level of redundancy. :)
