Running a public data portal our egress is higher than our storage costs. (We now proxy downloads through a direct connect to our university network...)

Remember to account for future reductions in storage costs. S3 has come down from $0.1500/GB month in 2010 to $0.0300/GB month today. And the recently introduced infrequent access storage tier is under half that again at $0.0125/GB month. It's now significantly cheaper to use S3/Azure/Google than running the storage ourselves.
