Alternatively, buy one hard drive and keep a copy in Amazon Glacier Deep Archive for $1/TB-month.

- kalleboo 8y agoYeah it's something like $700 to retrieve 8 TB
- anoncoward111 8y agoMeanwhile for highly redundant tape cartridges, you can store that amount for maybe $100-200, but the device to read it back is about 10x more expensive used unless I am just struggling the find the real deals :/
- votepaunchy 8y agoAWS Lighsail can transfer 1 TB from S3 for $5. And no fear of losing a second drive while you perform a network synchronization.
