The only thing I remember being significantly cheaper for personal storage is actually Office365, which is $50-100/year (depending on how you are at looking for discounts) for either 1TB or 5TB (as 5x1TB).
Edit: summary cropped from a recent discussion where someone said "[Ewww Microsoft]"
Dropbox: $99/year for 1TB - or $199/year if I want "Smart Sync" which is the same basic thing as [OneDrive's] Files On Demand.
Google Drive: $99/year for 1TB, unclear if it supports the same kind of online-only files.
Box.com, but I could only get 100GB of storage for $10/month; for more I'd need to have 3+ accounts on their Business plan at $15/month/account.
Sugarsync, 250GB for $10/month or 500GB for $19/month.
SpiderOak ONE, known for security & encryption, $9/month for 400GB or $12/month for 2TB.
OwnCloud, free except for buying a NAS or setting up and powering an always-on home server to run it (or paying for online storage and a hosted VM), along with my time dinking around with it and troubleshooting.
Something based on some kind of S3 clients. See above about my time setting it up, dinking around with it and troubleshooting. Also, using the Cloudberrylab backup software calculator, storing and accessing 600GB in S3 would cost at least $13-14/month.
