I don't really know much about optimizing storage costs, But You could learn from storage giants.
Example is Blackblaze storage pod 6.0 according to them it holds 0.5PB with a cost of 10k$, you will need about 20*10K$ = 200K$ + Maintenance(They also publish failure rates) , The schematics and everything is in their website and according to them they have already a supplier who provides them with such devices which you could probably buy from. Note: This was published 2016, they probably have Pod 7.0 by now so cost may be better.

- sireat 5y agoReading: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/open-source-data-storage-server/ https://www.backblaze.com/blog/open-source-data-storage-serv... it seems the drives are included. That 10.3k includes drives but you have to assemble the pod yourself. For 12.8k you get drives and assembled pod from 3rd party manufacturer. Backblaze pays about 8.7k at a scale for the whole enchilada Those numbers do not make sense if we exclude drives. The server itself is not that expensive(2-3k tops) without the drives.
