That's definitely a non-trivial amount of data. Storage fast enough to read/write that isn't cheap either, so it makes perfect sense you'd want to process it and narrow it down to a smaller subset of data ASAP. The physics of it is way over my head, but I at least understand the challenge of dealing with that much data.
Thanks for the read!
