So yea, pretty much. I had to do this with a project from a couple years ago where we were moving a ton of images from a legacy colo'd server to S3. I can't remember how much data it was but it was enough to where it didn't make sense and would've taken for-fucking-ever to move it to S3 over public internet. When we did it, we bought a drive, went to the colo, offloaded the files, and you have to do some stuff to kick off a job to let them know you're sending a drive and what kind and all that sort of thing. Then you mail it to them and they run an import into an bucket. My guess with these drives is controlling the hardware makes the process significantly more efficient for them, and for the enterprise customers they're trying to move off colo and onto AWS.
