The deep Web contains 7,500 terabytes of information compared to 19 terabytes of information in the surface Web.

The deep Web contains nearly 550 billion individual documents compared to the 1 billion of the surface Web.

Wut?

Pretty sure there is a shit-ton more than 19 terabytes of information on on "the surface web". Hell even 7,500 sounds really low... I reckon there is probably more than 7,500 terabytes of info even if you take out video data.

Also if "individual documents" means files (as in .htm web pages or whatever) then 1 billion is another ridiculous lowball.

wiki says:

"Estimates based on extrapolations from a study done at University of California, Berkeley in the year 2001,^[3] speculate that the deep Web consists of about 91,000 terabytes"

so in 2001, when internet was still a joke compared to nowadays, the deep web had 91k terabytes
