I ran some storj nodes a few years ago but gave up because the ratio of what I needed to share to the amount I could store was too poor.

I see their pricing [0] has improved but does anyone have a good comparison of the true costs of various storage systems? I feel like I’m dealing with comparing Roblox to hearthstone gems when trying to figure out the cost of S3 vs Storj vs Filecoin vs whatever.

It seems like there should be some p2p system where I can share 100GB on my storage array in return for 10GB that’s reliable enough that it will always be there if my house burns down.

Currently I use S3 Glacier because S3 is too expensive.

We built a service that tells you the exact cost/performance differences between different object storage systems [backblaze, storj, wasabi, s3, etc].

All you need is an AWS cost and usage report and we can tell you the tradeoffs including egress fees and everything.

Would be more than happy to help you out with this.

If you want something that you can just plug into and leave alone, I'd just use Storj. It's priced the cheapest and their tech is the best thus far. I will say that it's built for developers so expect needing to spend some time to set everything up.

Thanks, that’s helpful. I’m looking for something that does this analysis that I can follow. When I did the math a few years ago Storj wasn’t the cheapest, so I want a good way to confirm that if storj is best now, what’s best in a year, etc.
