Are these static websites or do the apps need to write to the storage space?

The sites/apps will be writing (as well as reading) ALL the time... One of them is a (proprietary) web crawler that will crawl and archive certain types of web resources. (Mainly RSS/XML feeds). Then, another one will crawl/archive URLs, take a screen shot of the URLs too and store them as gif/jpeg/png files.

What sort of static website would need that much storage?

Something like a self-hosted pyvideo.org would probably take a few TBs.

Even that has a search option. I suppose you might want to host a large number of big downloads.

You can have search using only browser-side JS, by generating a static index: http://10consulting.com/2013/03/06/jekyll-and-lunr-js-static...
