For platter or SSD drives, sure. Some forms of magnetic tape storage can get up to 300 TB per cartridge though, which can scale up to petabytes in the right config.

Still ridiculous for information that is worth less and less over time.

300TB per cartridge in 2013? I think 10TB per cartridge was pretty high round then. That's still around half a billion tape cartridges, which are also very slow to read and write from.
