Can't comment directly on Frankfurt but I used iDrive London for 12 months when it was previously $100/5TB/year and the uptime over the period came to about 95%.
Shame really as I'd have probably renewed at the $200 price increase if they actually had good uptime.
I have been recommending them often because the service looked good and the price awesome, but now I am regretting it. A whole day outage is not good. Maybe I should switch to Wasabi.
It started working just as I was deciding whether to switch to Wasabi or Backblaze B2. So long outage for a service that claims high availability and durability.
Besides Wasabi, B2, StorJ, are there any others worth considering? I kinda lost trust in e2 after this lengthy outage.
R2 but it costs $15/TB but free egress.
I had forgotten about R2 but yeah it's a bit expensive for personal backups and another few things.
There's also Vultr Object Storage, DigitalOcean Spaces, and upcloud object storage.
None of the above are cheap tho, better stick with B2 ngl
They are a bit expensive at $5 for just 250GB
In one day, BuyVM Luxembourg and Evolution Roubaix and iDrive Frankfurt are all down.
Is the whole Western Europe on fire?
backblaze has their own issues, and error responses, wich makes the use of their system slower (and not-recommended by jetbackup for example)
wasabi just lost/corrupted our 55TB of backups we had with them, they have hidden the information, no status report, no announcement, nothing, for corrupting 55TB of backups (and obviusly, i'm not the only one, it's their entire Central US location with corruption issues).
it seems the pricing of backblaze-wasabi-idrivee2 is too cheap to get something decent you can rely on.
i'm currently testing idrive e2, with 23tb of backups as of now, no issues so far, but have read a lot of bad experiences... if this one goes bad for us, we will have to step up and go to cloudflare r2.
Why do I never read ovh or scaleway object storage in discussions like these? Is it because they're based in EU or because they are fairly new (2 1/2 years)?
I myself have been using ovh since I went above the free 75GB with scaleway (which they don't offer anymore) a while back
I contacted idrive e2 support in July and just got a response last month
I am surprised to hear that about Wasabi to be honest, I thought it was rock solid from past experience.
Actually I got a response within a hour from opening the ticket tonight.
I just checked it out and it's expensive compared to other options mentioned. How long have you used it for and how has the reliability and performance been so far?
Is 8.30€/TB/month (ovh) expensive? Or do you mean egress?
Reliability has been rock-solid for both of them for me, performance as well, but I haven't been using them as CDNs, so can't talk about that use-case at all
For personal stuff like I need now yeah it's a bit expensive.
yep, sadly, this tremendous incident they have had on their US-CENTRAL, hasn't been published anywhere, wich is what gets me angry. if at least they have sent or published a report about it, and not us finding out and making them admit their own issue....
this is their respond, after we found several issues with any restore or process we tried to do with the data stored on wasabi.
I contacted Wasabi on 9th September, after having many restore issues and files failures or even backup process failures, and after 4 of their replies and 7 days of talking with them trough mail, they finally admitted:
Btw, their estimated date of 23 September didn't work, we are currenlty on 8th October, and issue remains there. they are happy that only seems to be 1 or 2 files every thousand's of files corrupted.... so yeah, if you restore a website of 300.000 files, you only loose less than 500 files... 500 files your website will complain are missing lol.
besides, they are still charging us the "minimum storage period of 90 days" of the corrupted unusable data they have of us, LOL. wich is around 25TB of deleted data, but they are still charging us. and we will still pay it, just in case a client needs it, and we can recover some of that data. but after this period, we will surely say goodbye forever to wasabi.
I already told them, i would share my experience if i found any thread about S3 providers, with my own experience with them
Any recommendations?
To have smth more than idrive,
about ~200-300 files are uploaded daily (between 300-700MB per file) rarely downloaded, maybe 2-6 files per day are downloaded, more upload plays a big role here.
Needs something 1TB minimum with the ability to expand when it performs well
Prefered EU
Synology C2 everyone? 60/TB/year
R2 has been rock solid for me, no downtime nor slowdowns. Steep price at $15/tb tho, but can go down for $10/tb for infrequent access but more $ on calls.
That's quite serious considering the claims on the durability
This looks interesting. Do you have experience with it?
It's more like a structural difference in design, a difference that I think fits LET perfectly
For anyone interested: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/design-thinking-b2-apis-the-hidden-costs-of-s3-compatibility/
Note that this has a starting price of about 10 bucks per month because of non-included requests
Also, note the "Minimum storage duration"
Nope. Still testing their service right now
True, I use the $15/tb plan
What about https://telnyx.com/the-better-wasabi-alternative?
I decided to go with StorJ. The decentralized nature should make it more resilient to failure in a single location. Also it's just $4/TB/mo for storage. egress is expensive at $7TB but I will use it mostly for backups so it's fine.
I am already migrating, looks good so far.
One note for those who might try StorJ. Use the S3 gateway, not their proprietary protocol because it uses a lot of TCP connections and can cause problems to the Internet connection if you use it e.g. at home.
