An enterpise level RAID-able 8TB HDD costs perhaps $200 with large volume discount, so allowing for some redundancy and hardware failures your chosen provider will need to provide somewhere between $2,000 and $3,000 of drives, plus the NAS chassis space, just for you. There may be some additional savings if they're assuming data de-duplication with other clients, but that's unquantifiable at this point. To be a viable business they need to recover the costs of all that, plus operating costs (rack space, power & cooling), plus some profit over the lifetime of the drives - say 5 years. Just thinking it through says there's no way you're doing this in the cloud for less than $1,000/year with any kind of cloud HDD-based approach. -- Andy The only person to have all his work done by Friday was Robinson Crusoe _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
