CERN is a correct example. The LHC reportedly generates 1PB per second: https://home.cern/news/news/computing/cern-data-centre-passe...

If you define “generates” to mean “discards” then yes.
It still gets processed though and only all non-interesting events get discarded..

Otherwise the tape alone to store it on would exceed their total operating budget in a day, so they have to be a bit clever about it.

I think that even Google can not save 1PB/s in 2020.
