- dholowiski 11y agoUsing the calculator for that service, I put in 50TB and 25 hard drives, and the estimated charges came out to $2435.75. The point where snowball is cheaper is fairly low. 4TB on 2 drives is 194.86. Basically more than 5TB over 2 or more drives and it's cheaper to use snowball. Plus you have to pay to have the drives returned back to you.
