That's a fair point - the 200GB disk costs a bit more if you need an SSD (although my experience shows an SSD is not super necessary unless you have write heavy workloads or otherwise unusual access patterns).
If you drop the SSD requirement, a cheap dedicated server will blow Snowflake out of the water. As a bonus, you can run your own code (ETL, scrapers, dataviz). Kimsufi has 4 core 2TB (spinning) w/ 16GB RAM for $17/mo. Personally, that is the route I go for my personal warehouse, as I find I almost always want to put an API or django app in front (and other software like Celery, scrapers, etc.)
