To me it sounds like: S3 Classic: Your file gets replicated on 3 live HDs (and/or HDs backed by RAID arrays—not sure about the internal S3 storage topology).

To me it sounds like:
S3 Classic: Your file gets replicated on 3 live HDs (and/or HDs backed by RAID arrays—not sure about the internal S3 storage topology).
S3 Infrequent: Your file gets stored on 1 live HD (or single hardware redundancy component) and a copy in Glacier. If your live HD dies, your file will be automatically restored from Glacier to a new HD (but your data may be inaccessible during the automatic re-deploy).
Glacier: offline bluray combined with error correction accessed by robot arms, temporarily restored to live HDs on demand.
