Thanks for watching, everyone!! This one felt like a return to form and I’m very pleased overall with it. The team killed it! However… it seems I made a mistake about the DNA. God dang it!!!! I always try so hard to make sure my math is correct but I misread the info. It’s 215PB per GRAM of DNA, not per strand. That makes it a LOT less storage than what I wrote out, but still in the Zetabyte range so I feel the point still stands haha.
I swear I freakin love Wren. He’s like the little brother I wish I had. He puts in so much work and makes it look so easy and entertaining. I wish to see him make a Oscar winning documentary one day.
He has so many different ideas of what a true scale is, some who i never thought of. I’ve known who Corridor Crew was for a while but i never got into them. Thus, this has changed completely. Now i’ve watched almost all of their recent vids and i’m surprised how i never liked them, they really rock.
Fun fact: After Zettabytes, it's Yottabytes, which is 1024 Zettabytes, or around 1 trillion Terabytes! Right now, 1 Yottabytes would fit every bit of data in our world 100 times over, but if we manage to develop the singularity (with AI and stuff), we might seriously need to consider using Yottabytes.
A Yottabytes is 1000 Zettabytes not 1024 that would be 1 yobibyte (YiB) and the previous one would be a Zebibyte (ZiB). Megabyte, Gigabyte, ... are rounding the values. That's why when you've a 1 TB drive, your computer will show you 931GB, because the value on the disk is 1TB, but your computer uses GiB (Gibibyte) so windows, and I think MacOS as well, shows the wrong unit as the number shown is in GiB but they show GB which is miss leading. Linux show the right unit though.
Mister, that just means making 1 trillion terabyte chips. Unless we make quantum computers in which a bit less. Thats because quantum tunnelling, known to laymen as teleportation

Surprise Linus! His inclusion and voice felt so natural alongside Wren's. Have they ever done an in-person collab before? It seems so obvious to me now.
I literally can't express how much I love Wren's enthusiasm. He's the only one with whom my excitement about things got matched. This collaboration is much needed. I love you, Wren. I love you, Linus.
My every hair forced me to like this video and subscribe this channel, that was great to mix knowledge into VFX and deliver like that. I Appreciate your Work!
Let's all take a moment to appreciate that the CGI guy took the time to gather up enough CDs to make an actual stack of CDs. The only way I know that was not CGI is the sounds it made! You've gotten good at 3D rendering and seamlessly injecting them into a scene, but I greatly appreciate the actual representation... Takes me back a little bit
Love the style of this video. Smooth choregraphed shots that reveal text or an object with Wren always in motion. Makes the video even more engaging in my opinion Also respect for the LP CD!
For who's interested: Bluray is called bluray not because it's blue but because the ray is reflected on the DVD while it spins (the reading pin) is a blue (or violet) ray. This allows for the bytes to be written closer together allowing for a larger amount of data to be stored on 1 disk. Amazing video btw!

From an It pro's perspective, this has been one of my favorite videos you guys have produced! Also, great call getting LTT involved in this project. All around, fantastic job CC!
@@zybch There there bud, one day you'll understand grammar and a writers intention. Do note that I didn't say "Wow, this is 1000% accurate" instead, I said this was my favorite video they produced. Also, when it comes to demonstrations such as this, there will inherently be factual stretches of the truth because at the end of the day, none of this information, accurate or not, integrally matters for the video. It's function is to help people on a conceptual level understand things. Such examples include black holes which have a singularity in the center. A 1 dimensional point of mass spinning in a disc around another point. Yet we describe them as massive objects. Now, we say a black hole is "massive" but that's factually untrue. Their range of effect is massive, but a black hole inherently is not. But watching a video on them will you seldom hear that information. Do you feel you gained something from the video? Evidently not, based on your stance on the matter. Is it enjoyable? /IMO/Yes. So I would say that the video can be a success regardless. Now stop being pedantic and touch some grass.
I love that other people loved this as much as I did. I have a list fo UA-camr videos I look forward to watching. it used to look like this: 1. Linus Tech Tips Now it looks like this: 1. Linus Tech Tips & Corridor Crew
This is perhaps my all time favorite series of informational videos. The way Wren uses his VFX prowess to demonstrate otherwise unfathomable concepts is truly inspired.
I remember having a 20gb external hard drive that was big and bulky and needed a separate power source to use it. The fact that you can now store 50 times that on an SD card is mindblowing.
We had one of those too running on Windows 95, I remember clicking on a UA-cam video then going to grab some good while it loads enough for me to watch it 😂 Edit: Wasn't there another site everyone used to watch videos on? Wasn't vimeo was it?
I've been watching videos on UA-cam since day 1, this is the first video that made me laugh, get goosebumps, feel happy, feel lucky and privileged to be alive, appreciate where we are at, all at the same time , this is probably the best video on UA-cam. thank you so much for all the effort put forward and God bless you all.
@@SirWrender that's awesome, you've made my day - no - my week! I love what you guys are doing and have huge respect for your work, so to hear that you've seen and enjoyed some of my videos is enormously flattering, thanks! Crumbs, my T2i (or 550D as we called it!) review was made back in 2010, one of my first to filmed on HDV tape I think. It's a little frightening to consider I was already FOUR years into my UA-cam career at that point, but still one of the few people making cameras reviews, so it was inevitable people found me! That video is currently at 1 million views - ah the happy days before I had much competition! As a side-note I actually had two careers in mind as a teen, one in photography and the other in VFX! I obsessively read every page of Cinefex from issue 1 and even attempted some bluescreen composites at home with die-cast Star Wars models in the 80s on 35mm film! It all comes full-circle too, as when Cinefex closed its doors, I discovered you guys for my VFX BTS info and binged every react video before getting up-to-date. Keep up the good work and if I'm ever in your neck of the woods I'd love to say hello!
I love 'the scale' series of videos, for someone like me who hates having too much information presented at once, this weird and chaotic video teaches me so much and I actually learn from it, also it's very funny and wren its amazing in these
Love the jump cut to Linus really drives home the insane storage required for video production, would love to see more colabs with LTT - maybe if they still have that stupidly powerful rendering server you could try seeing how much time it saves you?
Can I just say that the information was interesting enough but it was the enthusiasm and personality that it was presented with that really sells it. You are a fantastic presenter.
11:34 it's so crazy to think that that small tennis court sized pile of memory cards is worth about 1/3rd of the entire country of India, and about a half of brazil by gdp
I love Wrens Videos. They really are part of the educational bubble of UA-cam while still adding great value to already existing videos, covering these topics. Thank you very much
Usually overt and intense people get on my nerves but Wren is definitely an outlier. His intensity, passion, enthusiasm and intelligence with almost a childlike jest adds up to create an awesome personality. Such a cool dude.
Wren is just the best, I could watch these videos with him for hours. And the Linus integration was also spot on, this was one satisfying video to watch.
DNA can store 215 petabytes per *gram*, not per strand. The human body has an average of about 19.39 g of DNA, which works out to 4.17 exabytes of storage per human. It's still a lot of data, but not nearly the 370 billion zetabytes Wren said.
The total amount of unique data for every human is even way less, only about 1.6GB, everything else is just a clone of that data, and of that 1.6GB only 160MB is actually doing anything, the amount of data that separates 2 people is only about 1.6 megabyte and the difference between you and a banana is only about 64MB, so next time you eat a banana, keep in mind that if only 64MB of your dna would change, you could have been that banana
I love your team's adoration for the past and the way you teach and visualize in a such a fun way. I remember the old floppy's for our Commodore 64 when I was growing up (the big actually floppy floppys). It really is astounding how far it's come in our lifetime.
Imagine how far it will go in another 20 to 30 years. There may be a point in time where 1 terabyte drives are as useful to someone as a 16 gigabyte SD card is currently. That's insane.
I really enjoy these scale videos. I started my lifelong data journey using audio cassette tapes. A C15 cassette holds just under 24 kilobytes per side. That's not a lot. And you had to make a note of where your program started and ended because you had to fast-forward/rewind until you got the tape into the correct position. Compared to this, 5.25 floppy disks seemed like amazing tech from the future.
I remember 20 years ago they were talking about being afraid of putting too much data storage space into a SD card, since theoretically, if you put too much data in one spot that it will cause a singularity and end the world by black hole
Love the Docuwrentaries like this and the solar power one 'cuz it shows how anybody's skillsets and passions can be used to convey ideas and educate people Also nice touch with Wren exiting the bathroom cleaning off the chip
I remember my dad coming back from a computer show (when they had those) and he bought a 128mb hard drive and he said “this is the last hard drive i’ll ever need to buy”. LOL
Your poor naive dad lmao. If I ever buy a 2.5 petabyte size server in the next few years, I'm expecting it to be available for a hundred buckaroos in 10-15 years, the way things are going. We'll probably end up with "petabyte" singular SSD-s in that period of time, almost no doubt about it. And then zetabytes the following 10 years. By this point, we're 100% operating on quantum computers so there might even be a massive jump sometime in the next 30 years.

I actually really like this whole concept. It's something I've thought about, multiple times. I'm 32, and have kind of grown up alongside the internet. I remember the old floppy disc, and such things. Yet, these days, I use about 150gb of data a month, just on my phone. It's absolutely AMAZING to look back on how far we've come, in such a short time.
I’m also 32 I remember our Sony camera taking floppy discs and also when I started high school floppy discs were used to save our work onto… my father worked in IT at a university and got one of the first 1gb thumb drives, the price was eye watering (about $800 from memory) Crazy times 🤯

I have a total of 1.75 terabytes of storage on my pc and I need to upgrade soon. A few years ago, a terabyte of storage on pcs was good enough.
@@AXCBER ye lol, and we can get 8 tb solid states like for reasonable money now its insane.
@@AXCBER 1.75TB? I have like 2.6TB worth of games in my current Steam library PLUS like 1.5TB worth of ROMs for emulation.
@@Rokabur yeah I know its not that much. I have to constantly move things around. I need to upgrade my storage cause its 5 years old at this point
7:50 I was going to say "No, probably ltt's is bigger" and just as I thought that ltt appeared lol
From an It pro's perspective, this has been one of my favorite videos you guys have produced! Also, great call getting LTT involved in this project. All around, fantastic job CC!
An IT Pro would have picked up some of the many factual errors.
@@zybch There there bud, one day you'll understand grammar and a writers intention. Do note that I didn't say "Wow, this is 1000% accurate" instead, I said this was my favorite video they produced. Also, when it comes to demonstrations such as this, there will inherently be factual stretches of the truth because at the end of the day, none of this information, accurate or not, integrally matters for the video. It's function is to help people on a conceptual level understand things. Such examples include black holes which have a singularity in the center. A 1 dimensional point of mass spinning in a disc around another point. Yet we describe them as massive objects. Now, we say a black hole is "massive" but that's factually untrue. Their range of effect is massive, but a black hole inherently is not. But watching a video on them will you seldom hear that information. Do you feel you gained something from the video? Evidently not, based on your stance on the matter. Is it enjoyable? /IMO/Yes. So I would say that the video can be a success regardless.
Now stop being pedantic and touch some grass.
Wren and Linus! What a combination ❤
the collaboration with linus made me so happy, im so glad we could see them interact
I love that other people loved this as much as I did. I have a list fo UA-camr videos I look forward to watching.
it used to look like this:
1. Linus Tech Tips
Now it looks like this:
1. Linus Tech Tips & Corridor Crew
The NSA’s Utah facility is rumored to have from anywhere of 7 Zettabytes to a yottabyte in theoretical capacity.
I was already gonna like the video, but 7:25 left the biggest smile on my face. Never change, Wren. Never change.
Dude that part made me laugh so hard
I Shazamed it because that needs to be my new ringtone!

as i big data dev i find this perfect for an introduction to what is big data.
nice lies but alr
As a big data dev, feels weird saying a few petabytes is “small” after watching this

This is perhaps my all time favorite series of informational videos. The way Wren uses his VFX prowess to demonstrate otherwise unfathomable concepts is truly inspired.
When you using literal electrons to store data, it makes sense that memory cards are so small
Wren I can’t even explain how captivating these videos are. I hope you know how much your work is appreciated
"Vfx artist explains how captivating explainer videos are"
Thank you!
I remember having a 20gb external hard drive that was big and bulky and needed a separate power source to use it. The fact that you can now store 50 times that on an SD card is mindblowing.
Yea I’ve got an 8TB external drive that’s only about the size of a small book.
Still needs it’s own power supply though.
We had one of those too running on Windows 95, I remember clicking on a UA-cam video then going to grab some good while it loads enough for me to watch it 😂 Edit: Wasn't there another site everyone used to watch videos on? Wasn't vimeo was it?
Pff, my first PC had a magnificent 500mb hard drive, I believe I still have it. xD
I just love Wren‘s fast paced explanation videos! They satisfy my adhd urge to always have to know how things work. Super fun!
One word:
Same
And they satisfy my ADHD urge to make them cuz they’re the videos I want to see haha!
I've been watching videos on UA-cam since day 1, this is the first video that made me laugh, get goosebumps, feel happy, feel lucky and privileged to be alive, appreciate where we are at, all at the same time , this is probably the best video on UA-cam. thank you so much for all the effort put forward and God bless you all.
7:19 by far one of the greatest uses of The Only Thing They Fear is You
Very nicely done Wren, really well scripted and presented! And bonus Linus cameo too!
Thanks Gordon!! Your videos in fact helped me learn about cameras back when I got started! I had a Canon T2i and your reviews taught me how to use it.
@@SirWrender that's awesome, you've made my day - no - my week! I love what you guys are doing and have huge respect for your work, so to hear that you've seen and enjoyed some of my videos is enormously flattering, thanks! Crumbs, my T2i (or 550D as we called it!) review was made back in 2010, one of my first to filmed on HDV tape I think. It's a little frightening to consider I was already FOUR years into my UA-cam career at that point, but still one of the few people making cameras reviews, so it was inevitable people found me! That video is currently at 1 million views - ah the happy days before I had much competition! As a side-note I actually had two careers in mind as a teen, one in photography and the other in VFX! I obsessively read every page of Cinefex from issue 1 and even attempted some bluescreen composites at home with die-cast Star Wars models in the 80s on 35mm film! It all comes full-circle too, as when Cinefex closed its doors, I discovered you guys for my VFX BTS info and binged every react video before getting up-to-date. Keep up the good work and if I'm ever in your neck of the woods I'd love to say hello!
I love 'the scale' series of videos, for someone like me who hates having too much information presented at once, this weird and chaotic video teaches me so much and I actually learn from it, also it's very funny and wren its amazing in these
“When technology becomes biology” I couldn’t think of anything else after I heard that.
When we get there, we would literally be god
Not exactly.
GOD has knowledge of and controls everything of universe and beyond, down to single atoms and quarks and whatever is beyond that.
True Scale is definitely a series you should do more often. Blows my mind every time.
Two of my favorite channels merged together! The internet would be a better place with more videos like this!
I KNOW RIGHT... This is newly added to my faves coz I freaked when I saw Linus featured so generously.
Love the jump cut to Linus really drives home the insane storage required for video production, would love to see more colabs with LTT - maybe if they still have that stupidly powerful rendering server you could try seeing how much time it saves you?
My body can hold billions of zetabytes
but i cant even remember what i ate for lunch
Can I just say that the information was interesting enough but it was the enthusiasm and personality that it was presented with that really sells it. You are a fantastic presenter.
He's a fantastic spokesperson for crack too
I really love this series , good storytelling, amazing effects and a really detailed composition !
11:34 it's so crazy to think that that small tennis court sized pile of memory cards is worth about 1/3rd of the entire country of India, and about a half of brazil by gdp
For me it's the fact that all the memory cards produced in the world, would be able to fit inside a tennis court
1/3 Rd of GDP of India not India itself
@@OV3R-9K i said gdp
False.
@@nhbons783 my statement is true if the number he said is true
The use of that DOOM music is amazing (yes, that’s what I’m most focused on)
I love Wrens Videos. They really are part of the educational bubble of UA-cam while still adding great value to already existing videos, covering these topics.
Thank you very much
WHY DID YOU SAY EDUCATIONAL B##### 😭
That little touch of Niko mourning the dying SD card is delightful. And as always, Wren is awesome.
👌
Wren's enthusiasm towards almost everything is amazing
Agreed. It’s super infectious.
Usually overt and intense people get on my nerves but Wren is definitely an outlier. His intensity, passion, enthusiasm and intelligence with almost a childlike jest adds up to create an awesome personality. Such a cool dude.
5:23 just looking at that makes fives me chills. Especially seeing the paper move
I love the collab with LTT. Ties in a lot of really fun info in a way that you guys make very understandable and fun to watch. Great video!!
Yessss, one of my favorite series on all of youtube! True scale is so beyond fascinating.
This series is truly amazing, informative, and Wren's energy is so infectious. Mark Rober and Destin Sandlin, here Wren comes!!
That doom intro to the bit stack was ALMOST perfect… the ad interruption on the drop kinda killed it though.
Wren is just the best, I could watch these videos with him for hours. And the Linus integration was also spot on, this was one satisfying video to watch.
DNA can store 215 petabytes per *gram*, not per strand.
The human body has an average of about 19.39 g of DNA, which works out to 4.17 exabytes of storage per human.
It's still a lot of data, but not nearly the 370 billion zetabytes Wren said.
thanks!
Just a small oversight. This would be like the difference of landing a rover on mars successfully vs blowing up the entire planet from the impact.
There is also a small discrepancy with his data sizes. It's actually 1024 for every name change with the exception of bit and byte.
@@OutlawFixit Storage is generally given in multiples of 1000 with bibytes used to denote the more technically correct 1024 multipled figures.
The total amount of unique data for every human is even way less, only about 1.6GB, everything else is just a clone of that data, and of that 1.6GB only 160MB is actually doing anything, the amount of data that separates 2 people is only about 1.6 megabyte and the difference between you and a banana is only about 64MB, so next time you eat a banana, keep in mind that if only 64MB of your dna would change, you could have been that banana
I love your team's adoration for the past and the way you teach and visualize in a such a fun way. I remember the old floppy's for our Commodore 64 when I was growing up (the big actually floppy floppys). It really is astounding how far it's come in our lifetime.
Imagine how far it will go in another 20 to 30 years. There may be a point in time where 1 terabyte drives are as useful to someone as a 16 gigabyte SD card is currently. That's insane.
The doom sound track "rip and tear" goes hard at 7:30 in the video
I absolutely LOVE how creators are getting more and more involved with each other. I hope I can get involved too one day!
You won't. Rent's due.
8:00 That's what she said!
Was looking for this
I really enjoy these scale videos. I started my lifelong data journey using audio cassette tapes. A C15 cassette holds just under 24 kilobytes per side. That's not a lot. And you had to make a note of where your program started and ended because you had to fast-forward/rewind until you got the tape into the correct position. Compared to this, 5.25 floppy disks seemed like amazing tech from the future.
I remember 20 years ago they were talking about being afraid of putting too much data storage space into a SD card, since theoretically, if you put too much data in one spot that it will cause a singularity and end the world by black hole
These videos are the best, thank you Wren for existing. The shot where you grabbed some SD cards of the big block of SD cards was really nice
7:55 Pretty sure UA-cam has the biggest server on youtube
Lol
Probably not
@@IsntPhoenix Who else, then?
@@hexcodeff6624 other companies that have youtube accounts XD

Love the Docuwrentaries like this and the solar power one 'cuz it shows how anybody's skillsets and passions can be used to convey ideas and educate people
Also nice touch with Wren exiting the bathroom cleaning off the chip
7:20 one of the most epic edits i've ever seen on this channel!
Gotta love the tech collabs with Linus. Great work as usual, Wren.
I remember my dad coming back from a computer show (when they had those) and he bought a 128mb hard drive and he said “this is the last hard drive i’ll ever need to buy”. LOL
Your poor naive dad lmao. If I ever buy a 2.5 petabyte size server in the next few years, I'm expecting it to be available for a hundred buckaroos in 10-15 years, the way things are going. We'll probably end up with "petabyte" singular SSD-s in that period of time, almost no doubt about it. And then zetabytes the following 10 years. By this point, we're 100% operating on quantum computers so there might even be a massive jump sometime in the next 30 years.
that has to be at least 10 years ago...
@@PrograError more like 20-30 years
I had nightmares thinking about how I'd ever fill my first 120 MB drive 😂.
But then I learned that the bigger the drive, the faster it fills up.
This was absolutely phenomenal and the introduction to Linus was stellar!
I truly love your channel. Keep doing the best work.

I love Wren's energy, especially in these videos.
Wrenergy 😬
I actually really like this whole concept. It's something I've thought about, multiple times. I'm 32, and have kind of grown up alongside the internet. I remember the old floppy disc, and such things. Yet, these days, I use about 150gb of data a month, just on my phone. It's absolutely AMAZING to look back on how far we've come, in such a short time.
I’m also 32 I remember our Sony camera taking floppy discs and also when I started high school floppy discs were used to save our work onto… my father worked in IT at a university and got one of the first 1gb thumb drives, the price was eye watering (about $800 from memory)
Crazy times 🤯
OMG, I use that amount of data in a year 😂
Defaq are you doing on our phone per monht?!
