Cheapest Object Storage like BackBlaze

Hi,
I liked the BackBlaze but only issue I have is that bandwidth, it will cost alot to me as I want to stream the video. I want to stream drama series.
I have seen the Wasabi and Serverica. Wasabi is good, I am thinking of them but want to know if there are other option for me with good bandwidth within my price range.
For Servica, they provide 100mbps which is not good for me, I want at least 1gbps
For my price, I want to get 4-5 TB storage with 8-10TB bandwidth for $20
(I have seen Hatzner too, so please don't recommend it as it is big pricey for me at a moment)
Thanks

That is a very low budget, likely near impossible for object storage.
Can you tell me how cheapest option then?
not happening. if ya dont wanna pay for bw go with buy VM the storage will be 20-25 USD and you need to get a VM too so 7-14 USD
hmm, I will check them out
and if servers unavailable then message @Francisco and he may be able to reserve something for you
I have several rbox with 4TB block storage at letbox around $21. Im still waiting for them to restock.
iirc Servarica upgrades to 1Gbps with bandwidth limits if requested?
arent you get free bandwidth in backblaze if you put it behind cloudflare cdn?
You can select on the panel either 100 mbps unmetered or 1 Gbps 4 TB.
do you have to do object storage? What about host your own minio?
Go for Scaleway S3, and to avoid in/out fees, deploy a proxy instance.
As their instance traffic is unmetered, and as the traffic is free between their product, it could be a good deal.
@mhmhmhmhmh This will give you unmetered bandwidth with backblaze
no, it is only for html. Not for video, audio, etc
exactly
I don't have any yet but I want to buy
They cost €19.27 for 2TB, compared to Wasabi it cost $12 for it. so it is costly than Wasabi
Unfortunatly not, it allow only html. I read alot about this. it is not for video, audio and other files.
If it is used then they suspend the account
Gone through few reddit posts and it looks that way.
It's not as low as your budget, but it's one of the lowest priced solutions out there for object storage. https://www.storj.io/pricing
You can use backblaze with cloudflare for free bandwidth. Cloudflare... technically doesn’t allow for streaming; however, 8TB of BW probably wont flag anything.
only traditional cloudflare has restriction on media streaming. you need to use cloudflare workers which are charged per request.
You only need to have a paid cloudflare workers account, you don't actually need to stream through a worker. I only stream audio but my Backblaze bill is around $1.40 a month and $5 for CF while running 400-800GB a month.
any one here have used Storj's free plan? Is that reliable? I mean does it come with any limits on de-activating/deleting files from your account if not logged in for certain-time/or any other conditions?
These guys seem to have what you want $20/m for 5TB

There seem to be some concerns with the longevity of the company so may make sense stick with monthly payment:

Wasabi S3, $23 per month they don't charge any egress fees
Check with @seriesn or @Francisco for storage server
@seriesn 4TB Storage + 20TB BW $20,80 (annual pricing) https://my.nexusbytes.com/cart.php?a=confproduct&i=0 $20,80 (annual pricing).
But these servers are not recommended for apps like Nextcloud, but what about minio?
since when it only allow html? last time i use backblaze and cloudflare, it's still allow video file
I run minio on Nexusbytes' STOR-0.5T, but take care to not run too many uploads at once (on their lower plans at least).
The minio client makes multipart requests to send parts of the file at once, which are then recombined, which stresses out the disk and minio will return 429/500 errors.
You can use Backblaze for video files, but you're not supposed to use Cloudflare for video files unless you use their paid streaming service (although they likely don't care unless you use a lot of bandwidth).
