Do yourself a favor and use a Hetzner Storage Box:

Even if you don't include any extra costs, just keeping 10 TB on Hetzner will cost you 40€ max, whereas with S3 it will cost you at least $230.
- blfr 9y agoA single Hetzner box is not really comparable to S3 in terms of durability and availability.
- dvfjsdhgfv 9y agoMy experience is that they go down every 2-3 years, usually the problem is with the hard rive, occasionally with some other component. Under normal circumstances it takes them up to one hour to replace the hard drive, and then the array gets rebuilt for a few hours with the system being online. That means something like 2 hours downtime every 2-3 years, that's quite acceptable for my usage scenarios. In terms of money spent during that time, the difference is enormous.
- meritt 9y agoLike most businesses on a cloud provider, we're fairly locked-in to AWS without major changes. Going offsite would replace S3 PUT costs with significant bandwidth costs.
