If only there were one that were a reasonable price increment on top of raw storage, like 1.5x or even 2x, instead of 5x what, say, S3 or B2 costs.

- cpach 7y agoFeel free to start a competitor…
- papyruskaleido 7y agoIt's probably easier and cheaper to just use Sanoid though.
- blattimwind 7y agoRemote access to a ZFS gives you much different guarantees from your average S3-lookalike, so an integer price difference does not seem unreasonable to me.
- dmd 7y ago2 is an integer! 3 is too...
- rsync 7y agoS3 currently[1] costs 2.3c per GB, per month and there are additional costs for various transfer and usage behaviors. rsync.net pricing is 2.5c per GB, per month with no other charges possible, regardless of usage. I feel like we're in the ballpark there ... As a bonus, you can do things like this: ssh user@rsync.net rclone s3:/some/bucket rsync/home/dir ssh user@rsync.net rclone gdrive:/blah s3:/some/bucket ... which is detailed here[2].

- dmd 7y agoHuh. I only use B2 (which is 0.5c per GB), and I had simply assumed that S3 was in roughly the same ballpark. Ok then!
