I've never actually tallied it all up by byte count, but I've got similar amounts and getting larger all the time as resolution increases with users bandwidth and monitor size grows. So I was thinking same thing.
That's just not a viable pricing model for anyone who actually tries to provide something more than a cookie cutter site to their users.
Hell, how do you even begin to figure out what to price? Are you pricing the final rendered version online or the raw stuff straight out of the camera? Wow, just for stills alone I snap RAW at 10 meg and usually 300 shots per set on average before post production. Video? Uhm, I can do 20 gigs in an afternoon.
Now if you're just talking online, what if I store in several formats mpeg, h.264, wmv, mov, etc. Do I have to pay for all of those?
Bad pricing model.
Maybe by hours of footage and/or number of shots. And some of us actually have more than 10 hours of footage and 10,000 pics.
