Right but 517 GB is ~0.05% of a petabyte. Nobody is saying 517 GB is small, but it’s a far cry from petabyte(s) of storage
A Petabyte would be a thousand movies. No cinema has a thousand movies on its program.
Yeah, that’s be a high bar for storage lmao
Nope. SD cards can do terabytes now. Walking away with it is probably the easiest part of the whole heist plan.
Getting around the obscure hardware and software DRM schemes, moving that much data quick enough that you don't have to make two trips, getting the knowledge required to do all that... I figure those would probably be harder.
Have to agree here, you can buy a Samsung branded 4TB USB-C drive that fits in your wallet.
I doubt the copy the theater is receiving is any higher quality than a Blu-ray release though, so aside from George Lucas style editing there seems to be little value in transporting the encrypted copy unless you first have a decryption method.
