- votepaunchy 8y ago> B2 is dead cheap B2 is 400% more expensive than Deep Archive. Whether the lower transfer costs result in savings depends on your use case. For B2 the cost of transfer is 5x a month of storage, for Deep Archive it’s 90x. GCS is also cheaper than S3, with even higher transfer costs, but instant access irrespective of storage class.
