AWS has a whole line of these, their "Snow" product line.[1] There's the "Snowcone", the "Snowball", and, for those really big transfers, the "Snowmobile".[2] [1] link [2] ▶ this video
The scale of these megacorps is crazy! I wonder how you even plan to move that much data. I know that Amazon has a service called Snowmobile for stuff like this. They probably did something similar here. "You can transfer up to 100PB per Snowmobile, a 45-foot long rugged sized shipping container, pulled by a semi-trailer truck." ▶ this video
