"Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway." - Andy Tanenbaum Amazon has formalized their Import/Export service with their own hardware, the "Snowball": https://aws.amazon.com/importexport/ https://aws.amazon.com/importexport/ $200 for 10 days in your possession, up to 50 TB, no extra charge if you're importing to Amazon. Useful to get your media collection backed up in the cloud, if you don't want to take a few years as I'm currently planning for my AT&T DSL soda straw. But otherwise, latency slower than a round trip to the New Horizons space probe, which is currently ~ 9 hours.
