Well, Amazon offers a transcoder service, Elastic Transcoder, on AWS.

Obviously the financial impact would be more noticeable if I was going to put 100TB with them, but if I had that much data I'd want it in colo so that I'd own the hard drives (that's my long-planned n

a "reputable seller" (such Amazon or Newegg according to them). I wasn't informed about this PDU requirement before placing the order and nothing was stated in the offer either, but
