Microsoft has a similar service called Databox, wouldn't be surprised if GCS has something like this as well https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/databox

- wildfire 7y agoI actually used this personally (Jan 2019) You'll get supplied (at least) two SSDs. With instructions for how to use in both Windows and Linux. Unfortunately even though it was "GA", it appears that they never really actually tested using it in Linux. I submitted (and they were merged) a number of documentation bugfixes related to Linux. Two firmware updates later, one bricked disk, one which failed to verify the copied data -- and 9 months of time all down the drain. This reason is why I will never use Azure. It wasn't the bugs and device failures that was the problem. Just the sheer work in having to teach Azures' support staff about their own product (after fighting to get them to record the support case -- you normally can't raise one if you don't pay). Why did I pick Azure for this? Because (at the time) both GCP and AWS catered for 100Gb+ volumes. And we were (and remain) around 50Gb. I haven't re-evaluated to see if either GCP or AWS have better options now.
