If you run it behind CloudFront it does support HTTPS.

Anything “supports HTTPS” if you count putting an HTTPS proxy in front of it. In other words, S3 does not support HTTPS, but you can work around that limitation by combining it with other services. My personal website is low-traffic, it’s not going to be very hot in any CDN caches. Based on my experiences with S3 performance, adding another layer of cache misses in front of it is probably just going to slow things do…

Fair enough.

The suggestion was more for the HTTPS part and not the performance part of your complaint. It's simple enough to set up, pay-as-you-go, only requires one vendor, and should be very scalable.

I'd just as soon throw up nginx on a Linode, myself.

So, are these the numbers? TBW is 600 TB, but you do 3TB/year across four disks, and I'll be generous and say you do .75/SSD/year. so in 750 years you'll hit the rated TBW? If you did a full 3TB/year on the one SSD, you hit it in 200 years?

No, 600TBW is for a 1TB Evo. For a Pro, it would be 1.200TBW. Unfortunately, neither of my disks are that big. Home is on a 256GB SSD which boils down to 300TBW. System SSD is a bit older 120GB OCz Vertex 3. This model doesn't have a TBW rating. As a result, if I don't do anything heavy, it'd last for a century in the best case. I'm not sure about OCz though. It reports 100% life remaining but it's from the skunkwork…

You mean that era right after when Intel released the first consumer SSD, and suddenly everyone was rebadging flash with who-knows-what controllers?

Anandtech was the best site for that era with their testing.

Almost, but not quite. The Vertex 3 was one of the best SSDs at that time. Had one of the better Sandforce controllers with proper MLC flash but, had to write compressible data to obtain these speeds.

It has no temperature sensor so it cannot compensate for temperature or understand its environment. It doesn't have a TBW rating (IIRC) and reports writes and reads in GiB. So it's somewhat limited when compared to today's drives.

OTOH, it's pretty dependable and stable so far.
