Cloud Storage Pricing

It'd probably be cheaper to stick it in Glacier or GC Archive ($0.0012/GB/month).

if you use glacier it's like 1$/TB month + taxes.great for backups

$0.01/GB/mo, that does not seem better than Glacier, is it?

He said his storage pricing is 2-5x cheaper than google archive line. That is $1.2/3x= $0.4/TB/month. Compare that against $20/month S3. He has 50x less cost. He can afford to overprovision.

Why do people pay for things like Google Drive or Dropbox when S3 storage is so cheap?

Too expensive given the app.S3/Google give around 2 cents/GB a month (lower for cold storage) but you also get to access it through the web... what's the benefit with this?

Why go glacier when you can go B2 for the same $6/mo with no egress fees[0][0] When you pay for 6TB you get 18TB free egress making it functionally free since you’d need to to >3 full restores a month to incur a charge

Is this not wildly expensive? Even on s3 glacier the cost per TB month is quite high.

I could but for $1800/year I could also build at least 8 redundant NAS boxes with 2TB storage and stick them at my friend's houses. I could also just pay $180/year for S3. Your offering is VERY expensive though I am sure quality is top notch.

If costs matter to you, e.g. for home backups, don't buy Glacier (and heck don't buy S3). A 3TB drive costs about 110eur, so if you'd have to buy a new one every year (you don't) that'd cost 110/3/1000/12=0.31 cents per gigabyte per month. Glacier? 7 times more expensive at 2.3ct.Hardware is usually not a business' main cost but it does matter for home users, small businesses or startups that didn't get funded yet, some of whom might c
