Exabytes more economical drives are much slower and squeeze less onto a tape than Quantums.
Based upon our estimates (Coughlin Associates) more than 400 Exabytes of data now reside on digital magnetic tape.
For example, in 2007, Cisco predicted the volume of Internet traffic would reach 28.4 exabytes per month in 2011.
The combined amount of tablet and smartphone traffic is predicted to generate 2.7 exabytes of data per month in 2015.
Other results from the global survey show that we broadcast around two zettabytes of data (a zettabyte is 1000 exabytes).
This will require 105 Exabytes of flash memory by 2020 but the total storage demand for computers will require more HDD units than SSDs.
Cisco says the increase in traffic from 2014 to 2015 alone will be 200 exabytes, more than the total IP traffic generated in 2010.

With data consumption predicted to reach 120 Exabytes by 2020 (eight times more than today ), the seamless mobile lifestyle will create a significant strain on network and data centre infrastructure if companies continue to deploy incumbent technologies.
From 1990 to date, the two decades of explosive growth since the effective launch of the Internet as we know it, Web traffic grew a staggering one-million-fold from a puny 48 terabytes a year (a few desktops now contain that much data) to an astronomical 60 exabytes.
