Curious how it relates to sticking only a single terabyte SSD in the machine. As a couple hundred dollars per month should relate to a couple terabytes.
- rcarmo 8y agoYeah, that didn't add up for me too. Storage for a single machine shouldn't add up to hundreds of dollars a month unlesa you're not really trying to manage your data (by culling datasets, using compression, etc.)
- thisisjeffchen 8y agoThanks for the catch! Actually that wasn't intended as a direct comparison to this machine's 1TB storage (I think I had ~2TB in the cloud). I can see how this is confusing - just edited the article.
- mr_toad 8y agoAnd assuming you keep it in block storage. If you keep the data in S3 and copy it to block storage as required it’s a lot cheaper.
