Probably on the basis that backblaze costs an order of magnitude less for the same product.
- gruez 5y agoAFAIK s3 is multi datacenter whereas B2 is only one.
- jfrunyon 5y agoAnd you pay S3's markup for every datacenter you want your data to be stored in, plus AWS's network markup for the transfer between those datacenters, do you not?
- 300bps 5y agoS3 has lots of options. If you don't want multiple availability zones (which is having multiple copies in multiple datacenters) you can use S3 One Zone-IA. https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/ https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/
- jfrunyon 5y agoI was replying to a comment which used AWS having multiple datacenters as a benefit over Backblaze which only has one. If your data is only in one datacenter either way, then does it really matter if a particular provider only has one datacenter?
