🥧 A slice of π? Download the whole thing!

Backblaze and StorageReview have partnered to make StorageReview's record-breaking pi calculation of 314 trillion digits available to π enthusiasts both serious and casual.

You may ask yourself: Why did they need to partner with a cloud storage company? How much space does it actually take to store 314 trillion digits of π? Well, it's over 130 terabytes of data—no small access challenge.

A few fun facts about just how much data that is:

Using a 6pt font and standard letter paper, if you were to print 314 trillion digits of pi, it would be over 5.5 billion pages and over 1,177 miles (if you print on both sides).
Using that same 6pt font and printing them on the world's longest ticker tape, it would stretch 414 million miles. For scale, the earth to the sun is about 93 million miles or so, and longer than the earth's orbit around the sun (around 186 million miles).

But don't worry: We have instructions on how to download all of that with the help of rclone, a free, open source cloud storage management tool. Get your download started by visiting our pi page, then we'll send you an email with instructions.
