I don't think tossing 16 SSDs into a single enclosure is a fair comparison with S3. I also think that storage is absolutely in scope for an article like this.

- vidarh 8y agoTrue, for most workloads 16 SSDs in a single enclosure will be far faster and more efficient, but will require offsite backups. If you need redundant blob storage, pretty much every colo providers has solutions, and most of them are going to be cheaper than S3. Worst case you can use S3, and then need to factor in the bandwidth cost difference.
- secabeen 8y agoYep. Amazon even offers the Storage Gateway appliance to facilitate these workflows.
