It's actually closer to 70x
Hetzner: 1.25 USD per TB (after 30 TB free per server) [1]
AWS: 90 USD per TB [2]
So, 100 TB at Hetzner will cost you 125 USD (not counting the 30 TB free). You would pay 9000 USD at AWS.

- chmod775 9y agoHetzner traffic isn't even that cheap compared to some unmetered offers, for example online.net. I had to migrate away from Hetzner because I was actually paying 300 dollars on traffic alone.
- vidarh 9y agoThe problem with some of the unmetered offers is that it's hard to know how much you'll actually be able to use, and for how long (before they oversell), so there's some appeal in paying for actual capacity. But certainly, you will pay a premium for that.
- vidarh 9y agoThanks for pulling the actual numbers - I was too lazy to verify, so figured it best to err on the conservative side (and also depending on how high you go, the AWS prices per TB drop quite a bit).
