- h.265 would help a lot, eventually this (or equivalent patent free codec) will be mainstream for storage and devices.
- They say cost is 0.03/GB? Doesn't backblaze b2 charge 0.005/GB? Why isn't B2 a real option?
- adventured 10y agoCan B2 reliably handle something the size of Flickr, with its consumer access demands (vs an enterprise/business focused service with far lower requests and bandwidth usage), as opposed to knowing for certain that AWS can? That has to be a rather dramatic consideration for a service the scale of Flickr. It's a near certainty that AWS isn't going away for the next decade at least; the same cannot be said with even remotely the same confidence for Backblaze. It's the difference between 99% and 90% confidence that your provider is going to still be around and offering a high quality service ten years out.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoIts very likely Backblaze is going to outlive Flickr.
- imaginenore 10y agoThey said S3 was $0.03 per GB, not their own storage.

- detaro 10y agoS3 is an example the reader might be familiar with, they use their own storage and haven't published what that costs for them as far as I know.
