    "It has been 10 years since Backblaze introduced our Storage Pod to the
    world. In September 2009, we announced our hulking, eye-catching, red 4U storage server equipped with 45 hard drives delivering 67 terabytes of
    storage for just $7,867 — that was about $0.11 a gigabyte. As part of
    that announcement, we open-sourced the design for what we dubbed Storage
    Pods, telling you and everyone like you how to build one, and many of
    you did."

    Them are big pods.
