| For cloud storage, Backblaze B2. It has a sustainable pricing model with no gimmicks: - .005 cents/GB/month for storage - free inbound data transfer - .02 cents/GB for outbound data transfer - first 10GB is free with no time limit - first GB of outbound data transfer each day is free - for $99 they will Fedex a flash drive up to 110GB from a B2 snapshot - for $189 they will Fedex a USB drive up to 3.5TB from a B2 snapshot - there are no "delete penalty" gimmicks that make cost optimization impossible on objects with indeterminate lifespans For backups, it's hard to beat B2 IMO. |
