Fact check: The cost of S3 standard storage per TB is approximately $23 not $153. S3 standard storage, the most expensive kind, is $.021-.023 per GB.

S4 costs about the same as S3 Deep Archive storage.

Update: The article appears to be a joke. That aside, there are no cost savings against S3 Deep Archive; additionally S3 Deep Archive supports restores unlike the write-only S4.

The site's domain was registered in 2009, and I guess it hasn't been updated since then. Their 1TB S3 price is in line with S3's 2008 price of $0.15/GB, and many (all?) of S3's advanced pricing tiers wouldn't have debuted yet.

Reminds of the Mitch Hedberg joke “I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to too.”: “It appears to be a joke. It actually is a joke, but appears to be one too.”

> S3 Deep Archive supports restores unlike the write-only S4

I bet that a Super service like this may also support restores, but because of security reasons, they would only be internally and not be visible to the end user.
