It sucks that Scaleway only supports Cards payment, not even PayPal.
Price per hour to store one of these for me?
$13.42/month, for 1~1000 units.
This equals 1% of my apartment rent ($1032/month) plus 30% income tax recovery.
Retrieval would cost $1 (bus ticket to post office) plus postage.
honestly if you can have a machine at home it will be infinity more cheaper then any cloud storage.
Yeah but what if earthquake or fire happens?
And this solution needs a huge upfront cost.
Earthquake happens very frequently in my area here.
you could also just bury it in the ground inside a dry bag. the farther in the ground you bury it the more everything resistant it would become
Yeah, it does.
What about sync.com he has unlimited space for $36/month
I'm not gonna trust "unlimited". And the price is way over my budget
Hetzner storage box promoting themselve as unlimited traffic. Did I miss anything?

It may say seedbox, but seedboxes are essentially just linux boxes
I hear an RAID5 option may be coming soon as well
for added security, pipe through gpg in batch mode to encrypt / decrypt
... and if your house gets on fire, flooded or if an earthquake destroys the memory cards - will there be any insurance?
forgot to mention, 12TB is 19.99€ per month, min upload speed is 100Mbps and you get all the usual tools of a linux box. Backup task related tools etc. which might be benefit for all and are FOSS you may request via a ticket as well.
3years discount is 15%, so that drops it to 16.99€/Mo, or 1.42€/TB/Month.
Also it grows constantly automatically.
Current bonus storage is actually outpacing the discount on drives by a big margin, if i recall right average user receives like 28% bonus annually right now -- and funny enough, it is now semi-guaranteed (global max not hit -- yes, we give out petabytes of free storage)
+1 for NetDynamics24
Honestly interested in what factors you take into account in your 'calculation'. Just a hint: if I see $300 for 10T (3 years) with 30% discount you can't really buy redundant disks for it. Maybe you're lucky and they survive 5 years, but those 2 years you have to take into account the rest of the hardware and power costs. Also, you want archive storage away from your primary location, so you need to ask a friend or so for it.
Seems like a good deal, but since you are on RAID-0, I will still need a backup solution. Thanks anyway ☺️
Average survival rate for a drive for 5years is approximately about 92.3% and for 10years 84%
RAID5 option will be available again within 2 weeks i believe.
You can buy your own insurance.
Otherwise it's YOLO.
How many guard dogs?
I've used this service for the last year & a half, no complaints - best price/performance I could find for 10TB
RAID5 options are now available btw: https://pulsedmedia.com/storage-boxes.php
Nice price. Might snap one later.
We use RAIDZ2 and give rsync, sftp, SSH access. Includes 7 daily zfs snapshots, we can customize this number if you want more snapshots:

We do smaller pools and drIves for more resiliency of each zpool, less ongoing drive issues.
Price is a bit higher but no egress charges, unlimited in/out on 10g nodes, and you can pretty much use any tool to backup to it.
Can I do zfs send to this ?
Ya know, I'd have to check. I think it only works from pool to pool, so local devs. But I could be wrong, it might be able to encapsulate SSH.
Thank you for your feedback. As you already know, we continuously upgrade our services. We have now something new in our plans. Please contact us if you want to be one of the first to benefit from it.
Tried applying the discount code on the Utah 3TB plan. Error: "The coupon code 'LET30%' is invalid."
Yes it was valid for limited time (until yesterday). I renewed it now for you and anybody else needed.
