During production the film Monsters Vs Aliens used 100 terabytes of storage capacity

Here is the rest of that sentence,

In Monsters vs. Aliens specifically, DreamWorks Animation artists rendered nearly 100 terabytes of disk storage; it rendered more than 30 sequences in the movie that would have taken more than 1000 years to render on a single workstation, created one of the most technically challenging sequences of the film involving a flyover of a town, including houses, hills and trees; and also staged an explosion in one of the battle scenes, which required more than three terabytes of disk space alone and bridged 300 physical miles (the HP Halo telepresence system and HP Remote Graphics Software allowed critical creative collaboration between artists located in studios in Glendale and Redwood City, California.
