>Not really unless you're using 1 GB flash drives from fifteen years ago

1GB flash drives are still 1GB today.

>256 GB is now common, which would make that petabyte less than 1 football field. (It's only 4096 such drives.)

If we're completely changing what we're using for scale, you can fit a petabyte on ~10 100TB drives, which is like 3% the length of an olympic swimming pool.
