#52It's impossible to answer this question without more information. What is the use profile of your system? How many clients, how often, what's the burst rate, what kind of reliability do you need? These all change the answer.

#53I would also like to ask everyone about suggestions for deep storage of personal data, media etc. 10TB with no need for access unless in case of emergency data loss. I'm currently using S3 intelligent tiering.
AWS Glacier. That's where I keep (one copy of) my wedding video, all the important family photos, etc.

#54If price is a consideration, you might consider two 10 TB hard drives on machines on two home gbps Internet connections. It's highly unlikely that both would go down at the same time, unless they were in the same area, on the same ISP.

I do my archiving to S3 Glacier Deep Archive but my data volume is still so low that Amazon doesn't bother charging my card.
how much data are we talking about?

#56I'd suggest looking into "seedboxes" which are intended for torrenting.
I suspect the storage will be a bigger concern.
Seedhost.eu has dedicated boxes with 8TB storage and 100TB bandwidth for €30/month. Perhaps you could have that and a lower spec one to make up the space.
Prices are negotiable so you can always see if they can meet your needs for cheaper than two separate boxes.

OVH Cloud Archive seems to have very attractive prices if you're not accessing the data often https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-gb/public-cloud/prices/#473

#59Earlier quoted context omitted.
SSDs are definitely not "cost-effective" for 10 TB if that's what you're suggesting.
It looks like HDD prices are at ~40% of SSD prices (new drives, not cloud-hosted). SSDs are starting to make sense for more things, now.
That comparison only holds for the smaller sizes.

Cloudflare has free bandwidth up to a point and then they will charge you. That’s not really that surprising though.
PSA: The informal point at which they'll reach out used to be about 300TB/month about 2 years ago.
It may depend on the makeup of data or something. They "requested" one of my prior projects go on the enterprise plan after about 50TB, granted the overwhelming majority of transfer was for distributing binary executables so I was in pretty blatant violation of their policy. This was 2015ish, so the limit could also have gone up over time as bandwidth gets cheaper too.
