Just to put this into dollars. If each dataset is about 17 GB in size, then 
that's about 14 TB of storage that needs to come online every year to store the 
raw data for every structure. A two second search reveals that Newegg has a 3GB 
hitachi for $200. So that's about $1000 / year of storage for the raw data 
behind PDB deposits.
