Amazon S3 introduces tiered pricing.
- ashleyw 18y agoHow many people use even 50TB of storage on S3? Never mind 500TB+?
- ph0rque 18y agoNot people; companies (I'm thinking of Heroku here).

Quite a lot, but for a photo site like flickr, thats only 12 million 4MB original photos, not including the smaller versions. (well — thats still a lot of photos, but I bet flickr swallows that many photos every week...)

- cperciva 18y agoI don't, but some people certainly do -- smugmug had 80TB stored and was growing at 10TB/month when Amazon wrote their case study about smugmug: http://aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/smugmug/ http://aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/smugmug/.
- callmeed 18y agoWe have an image storage/sales service that uses S3. We're about 6 months in and have just under 1 TB.
