Using the cheapest 16TB drive at NewEgg = $385.99 ea

500TB/16TB = 31.25 Drives

32 x 385.99 = $12.3k

Plus the machine(s) to hold all those drives.

You are probably right, but large tower machines hold 5-6 drives? To have 500TB he would have to have ALOT of machines holding 4TB consumer drives (125 drives). 500TB isn't a personal collection, it's a distribution network.
