Hi Ideals,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this item.
– Snowmobile storage capacity is 100 PB.
– Snowball Edge storage capacity is up to 80 TB.Each Snowmobile is a secured data truck with up to 100PB storage capacity that can be dispatched to your site and connected directly to your network backbone to perform high-speed data migration. You can quickly migrate an exabyte of data with ten Snowmobiles in parallel from a single location or multiple data centers.
https://aws.amazon.com/snowmobile/faqs/While Snowball Edge (Storage Optimized) has an option of 100 TB, but you can only use 80 TB. Since you need to transfer hundreds of petabytes (100 PB), using AWS Snowmobile will help us satisfy this requirement.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/snowball/latest/developer-guide/device-differences.html
You can refer to the summary table below to see the different storage options of AWS Snowball Edge.
For the study guide, our team will update that section, and it will reflect in the reviewer soon.
