Supposedly Backblaze was at one point approached about their 45 drive chassis' by a federal agency.

45 drives * 6TB drives = 270TB of storage in one chassis (more than a month's worth of recordings). How much does it cost to get a whole rack colo'd in the Bahamas?

As you mentioned, if you have the horsepower, you can do speech to text right on the box. Plenty of space for ElasticSearch as well.
