Interesting at the very least for retrieval of backups from S3 Deep Glacier. Because the Glacier retrieval fees with bulk transfer are only 0.003 (yes 0.3 cent, not 3 cent) per GB. The thing that kills the backup use-case is $ 0.09 per GB bandwidth costs to the internet. The Snowcone brings that down to $ ~0.037 + shipping if you use the full 8TB per device. And that includes a $ 0.03 bandwidth fee from S3 tot Snowcone that I guess they're going to reduce over time since it's all on their internal network.
