It's 60 petabytes. To understand the scale of the data, This would cost about $1.2 million per month to store on S3 standard or $240k per month on Glacier Instant Access. To transfer this much data to/from AWS would cost about $3 million. It would cost about $625,000 to buy enough consumer grade hard drives to store this all.
