256TB!! Which reminds me I still have two 240 MB SCSI drives somewhere in my archive, only need 1.005.000 of those 
Of course having 256TB means you don't need to worry about cleanup to free space although you might want some tools to 'find' your stuff again. Also a good and fast backup solution might be in order.
"Horsemen of the disk-drive apocalypse will ride upon 256TB SSDs
Analysis: It's not a good week to be in the disk-drive business as solid-state tech news signals their imminent death – all due to a murderous group formed of Intel/Micron, Samsung, SK Hynix and Toshiba/WDC.
How so?
There are two disk drive formats – 2.5 and 3.5-inch – and three disk drive manufacturers – Seagate, Toshiba and Western Digital.
Fast 15,000rpm 2.5-inch disk drives are being replaced now by SSDs and 10K drives face the same because they are stuck at a 2TB or so capacity level. SSDs in the same format reach 11TB, 4.5 times more, and have far shorter data access times and lower rack space, power and cooling needs."
