Not affiliated, by just found out that's compatible with Arq and when I saw the prices I was stunned.

I wonder how this compares to rsync.net, especially with their HN discount and http://rsync.net/products/attic.html if you're doing the kind of backups I'd imagine Glacier is used for.

> Wasabi storage costs a flat $.0039/GB/Month with a 1 TB minimum usage.

so the only "catch" is $3.90 a month minimum?

Storage is cheap on any cloud, the network egress is expensive.

1. Wasabi: Storage: $.0039/GB/Month Egress: $.04/GB

2. AWS: Storage: $0.023/GB/Month Egress: $.05-.09/GB (even lower if you're big)

Sending data one outside of AWS costs equivalent of 2-4 months of storage.

There's also B2 (https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html), which is I think the cheapest of them all.

UPDATE: Well, egress is cheaper. B2 is $0.005/GB storage with $0.02/GB egress. But one thing to consider is that B2 storage is located within one single datacenter.

(Disclaimer: I am not affiliated, but am in the process of deciding to use B2.)

If the goal is price reduction:

https://www.ovh.com/us/public-cloud/storage/object-storage/ (S3-comparable performance)

$40/year minimum

Outgoing traffic: $0.011/GB Storage: $0.0112/month/GB

https://www.ovh.com/us/public-cloud/storage/cloud-archive/ (archival storage)

Incoming/Outgoing traffic: $0.011/GB Storage: $0.0023/month/GB

https://www.online.net/en/c14#pricing Storage: €0.005/Month

No traffic costs (because its archival storage)

The main downside is they are located in 1 physical area even tho they are labeled as multiple DCs.

But for high traffic uses, honestly, you can just double the storage costs (i.e. OVH CA and OVH France) to get redundancy while saving _massively_ on traffic costs.

Where did you see the $40 min with OVH?

Same here though I'm leaning towards backblaze since there's no minimum.

Curious .. where (region) is the data stored?
