This picture of a data storage facility that contains punched cars.

My estimate is that we're looking at about 2 GB of data.

It doesn't take that much space these days.

I just noticed that Mastodon doesn't pick up the correct photo. The link is supposed to be the one at the end of that page

"punched cars" is a great typo. More cars should be punched.

I suspect that's because direct links to the images on wikipedia pages like that one only work with javascript enabled, I also had to scroll down to find it.

And once found, the picture is rather impressive, indeed.
