Detailed explanation-1: –On 9 October 2018, the CERN Data Centre passed the milestone of 300 petabytes of data permanently archived in its tape libraries.

Detailed explanation-2: -The CERN storage system, EOS, was created for the extreme LHC computing requirements. EOS instances at CERN exceed seven billion files (as of June 2022), matching the exceptional performances of the LHC machine and experiments.

Detailed explanation-3: -The LHC produces at design parameters over 600 millions collisions (   109 collisions) proton-protonper second in ATLAS or CMS detectors. The amount of data collected for each event is around 1 MB (1 Megabyte).

Detailed explanation-4: -Physicists at Cern have discovered a plethora of new exotic particles being created in the collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider over the past few years.
