Excerpt from the article: >[...] Caffeine takes up nearly 100 million gigabytes of storage in one database and adds new information at a rate of hundreds of thousands of gigabytes per day. [...]

Your comment did make me pause and sanity check the math: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22100+million+gigabytes%22

In any case, a lot of people translated "100 million gigabytes" to "100 petabytes" based on that blog : https://www.google.com/search?q=google+search+index+estimate...

What's the current best estimate of its size now in 2024?
