Cold Object Storage
I am looking for relatively cold object storage for a project that will need 100s of TBs of storage. WE compatible and all that stuff obviously.
Project will expand over time from 1TB to Petabytes eventually as new media will continuously need to be stored.
Definitely aiming for below $1/TB, but the lower the better.
Thanked by 1WyvernCo

1$ per TB is it even possible?
Is the water in Atlantic Ocean cold enough?
Is $0.00/TB low enough?

AWS has is....
I've read about hidden charges with AWS services, reason why I don't even consider it for any serious bussiness.
I'm gonna read about this when I get home. But would you summarize it for me? Since like a joke project of some kind
it sorted my files so goood i can compress them and save 99.99% of space ! thanks
I currently pay aprox. €2.5/TB with Scaleway Glacier.
AWS is the cheapest.
According to their pricing, "restoring archived objects from the Glacier class to the Standard class" is ~3.5 times more expensive than storing that data for a month.
What do they mean by restoring?
That isn't downloading, so you also need to have some "hot" storage from them to restore the data onto it and download afterwards?
Hetzner?
We are totally legit.
Customers have uploaded 2026PB and counting.
Since we began operations, our customers have never lost a bit of their data.
For a description on how the application works, see documentation generated by Devin:

Since nobody wants to be useful.
Scaleway & OVH both have cold storage. Both are more expensive than 1/TB, that much I'll tell ya.
OVH is more cheaper than Scaleway, at scale of 100TB, OVH is the best with their glacier storage and even then their egress would be cheaper than amazons by a factor of magnitudes
+1 for OVH
I think that hetzner's storage box is also another good option for 2 euros per month and I don't even think that its necessarily cold storage or that any egress fees would apply at all.
Earlier, I was thinking of ovh but hetzner seems a good alternative as well. Both are good imo but ovh will have egresss for 17$/Tb iirc or similar whereas I dont think hetzner has none
How about backblaze computer backup? It's $99/y
It would be cool if more LowEnd hostings offered this
Why do you need object storage then? You can also do file storage right
AWS is one of the only companies who have commercialized this kind of storage, so I think it's your best bet.
@barbarza I'll send you a message.
I’m happy to put your bits in my fridge! Just let me know when you’re shipping them!
wow thats a lot of gay porn
ive put my old freezer in the yard and stuffed my retired (working, if it doesn't send me an email and i'll slap it, most of the times it starts working again, sometimes it acts gay with flashing lights but then i smack the gay out of the synology and it understands it should just write and preserve data) synology raid5 4tb in it, uplink is 3 doll-hairs and mud thrown in your face, ,99 cents/tb, hit me up in dm with your isdn
We offer physical device cold storage, like make a once a year backup and send us the drive, swap out once a year, store it at our datacenter 🤷♂️ www.microtronixdc.com
The standard class is object storage that you can access at will. The glacier class cannot be accessed at all until it is converted back into the standard class. This is where you see heavy charges.
It's possible that these ultra-cheap cold storage services simply put your data on LTO tape drives and box them up, leaving the hot storage on arrays of HDDs. It costs them extra to go out and grab your tapes and read the data off them and onto the HDD arrays. When you're storing petabytes of data, the high upfront costs of LTO-7 is ameliorated.
We can take a brain scan of the grandpa upon his death, which is estimated to occur within the next few years.
The brain data is stored in quantum memory, size of a briefcase.
It doesn’t contact organic materials or human remains.
Since quantum data cannot be copied, this suitcase would be the only copy of the grandpa.
We’d like to store the grandpa at your facility.
Our descendants would pick it up in a few centuries and reconstruct the grandpa from the memories.
Can you be entrusted with the only copy of this precious data?
You keep trying to Colo a human my friend 🤔🤣 but yeah send ol gramps suitcase digital memory clone over to put in the closet, why not 🤷♂️😂
