Between that was FEDEX-ing a NAS. That's pretty much the standard data-exchange format in astronomy, so you have a fast link and don't need to bother plugging a bunch of drives in, just plug the NAS to the power and network and off you go.

I imagine there are lower upper limits, but this would be the upper upper limit.
