Is 2 terabytes as much as The LHC Data Generated per Second?

It's about one-fiftieth as much as The LHC Data Generated per Second
The amount of The LHC Data Generated per Second is about 100 terabytes.
(a.k.a. Large Hadron Collider) (2008 figures)
Capturing millions of measurements per second on millions of subatomic particles, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) facility in Geneva generates 100 terabytes (tB) of data every second. Data collection arrays are placed throughout the LHC's 8.6 km (5.3 mi) circular track.
