Probably. 
Wondering what you guys thought. According to the internetz, the combined hard disks in the world only amount to half a zettabyte.

And of course, the first rule of government spending: why build one when you can build two at double the price!
My bet would be their aim is closer to a few yottabytes by 2020.
