I always find it interesting to compare 4TB/month pricing against buying N 4TB hard drives yourself, where N is the desired redundancy. Typically, you could buy a fresh set of hard drives 2-3x per year for the "standard" (they don't even call it "premium") storage tier. A normal drive lasts 5 years: go figure. (The markup was about double ten years ago, so it has gotten more competitive already.) Of course, that's no…
>I did have 2 die at the same time: same make and model, nearly identical serial numbers, surprise: same crash date and crash behavior Out of curiosity, were those Seagate drives?
