https://www.tarsnap.com/ Is great for stuff like this he is I think the head of FreeBSD security hopefully he will also comment on this.

Since we're sharing alternatives, I'll also link https://zfs.rent

This was on HN front page a few months ago. I haven't managed to get a drive there yet (demand outstrips supply for now) but I really hope it takes off and thrives.

There's also Rsync.net: https://www.rsync.net/products/zfsintro.html

Sounds like https://www.delimiter.com/slot-hosting/ which I’ve used in the past. Same cost per drive, but 4x the bandwidth included.

> demand outstrips supply for now

care to elaborate? Their business model since the last update only allows for shipping drives to them, they no longer sell drives so I do not quite get what you mean here.

That said, this is immensely cool thanks for the pointer.

My misunderstanding of their new pricing model :) I was just going off the store page which shows HDDs as out of stock.
