The price has dropped from $150/TB-month at inception to $1/TB-month with Deep Archive. Now competitive with RAID storage.

- dvfjsdhgfv 7y agoI'm sorry, but there is no such thing as fixed per-TB price in S3.
- dordoka 7y agoCould you please elaborate? Storage price is fixed. Other costs are requests and transfers and those depend on your usage.
- dvfjsdhgfv 7y ago> Other costs are requests and transfers and those depend on your usage. That's my point. You can't actually state the price per TB is N, you can just estimate it and hope it doesn't exceed the estimate. For some companies and scenarios it doesn't matter, for others it's significant enough.
- byteshock 7y agoIf you want an S3 service with lower pricing than AWS there are providers like Wasabi. They only charge for space used and not traffic. I believe Wasabi currently charges $5.99 per tb a month which is pretty reasonable imo.
- dvfjsdhgfv 7y agoThat's way too expensive for my needs. I use an 10x10 TB server from Hetzner for €200/month. Unlimited traffic is included if you use the standard 1 Gbps link.
