Tech’s broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap::Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.
S3 would be pretty cheap.
Only if you have archived data and use fitting lifecycle policies. 2TB of regular S3 would cost ~$40 which is about 4x the price of Google Drive. That’s not even accounting for the data retrieval costs.
I bought 20TB HDDs Seagate, the price is about 16 euros per TB.
Great if it works for you, but it’s not equivalent to cloud (access anywhere, automatically backed up…)
