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.)

I haven't used B2 in a production setting. But I've been using it for backing up my NAS and have been quite happy. Thinking about switching my other personal machines from crashplan to backblaze.

What are you using for backup? I have Arq (to Google) and Crashplan.

LeoFS: A stable and scalable S3 clone with NFS support? That you can host on your own infrastructure https://leo-project.net/leofs/

Well they edited the title so this isn't as tongue and cheek as it was meant to be. The original title was something like:

"Wasabi - a faster, better clone of S3?"

That's why I see others quote the original in the reply.

B2 is horribly unstable, has limits left and right and most of all, the latency is horrendous. You will be better off using any standard OpenStack provider. That way you won't have a lock in, and great performance (in my testing). E.g. OpenStack Swift on OVH. Sure it's a tiny bit more expensive. But you get a mature cross-provider API and better performance. Even for huge chunks of cold data, I wouldn't want to use B…

Thanks for sharing. This is news to me. I haven't ever seen a bad review of B2 over the internets. Can you elaborate further?

How stable is Wasabi?

How is B2 cheaper at .005/GB than Wasabi at .0039/GB? Am I missing something here?

Sorry, clarified that only B2 egress is cheaper. Wasabi storage is cheaper at .0039 vs 0.005

Am I doing the math wrong or is this $4/mo for me to dump 1TB of copies of my family albums and whatnot into for long term cold storage?

Can you make do with storing only 50 GB? That's $0.99/month from Apple. Can you make do with storing only 200 GB? That's $2.99/month from Apple.

No extra charge to get your data out.

The point is that for individuals it might make more sense to consider "friendlier" storage options. These types of services don't seem to be tailored to storing "family albums".

What are some good OpenStack providers? and are there any that can 11 nines durability?

I know at least that Rackspace has a hosted Swift storage service. Of the storage integrations I've worked on, Swift was probably the most error-prone to get your integration stable, though. I guess that's just a credit to the robustness of the S3 client APIs and services that copy it (Ceph, GCS).

Some quick observations: - Their performance claims are incredibly biased. Amazon S3 has far better write performance than their claims. - They claim 100% S3 compatibility but it fails a large number of API calls using Ceph’s s3-test. I didn’t dig into this too far but they do claim “No need to change your S3-compatible application” so changing my endpoint + credentials should have worked. To their credit - PUT, GET…

So would it be a fair assessment to say Wasabi is to S3, as Flask is to Django?

It would map better to a Django app rather than Flask

>Their first round was debt financing. Are you suggesting that Wasabi might go away because, maybe, this is not the "traditional" valley model?

Many, many startups in the valley have raised on convertible notes (aka debt) first.

you make $27h…good for you! I make up to $85h working from home. My story is that I quit working at shoprite to work online and with a little effort I easily bring in around $45h to $85h…heres a good example of what i’m doing, lllllllllllllllllllllllW­­W­­W.­­­­j­­­­o­­­­i­­­­n­­­­m­­­­a­­­­t­­­­e­­­­2­­­­.C­­o­­mlllllllllllllllllll >

You taking it so seriously. Do you work in Amazon?

OVH is pretty good and very cheap.
