They are all OK to use, and each provider has pros and cons, depending on the use case.
Hetzner is the cheapest; however, your data is stored in Germany or Finland. They have free bandwidth, but you are limited to 10 connections at a time.
Backblaze B2 has 4 regions across the globe, storage is $5/mo, there is no minimun retention time, but does have a cost for API Calls(transactions), and in addition charges for egress data(downloads), so your $5/TB is a variable factor, and if you use your data, you may not achieve $5/TB, the cost will grow depending on the use case(there are free levels of transactions and egress)
Wasabi is $7/TB and has 13 regions across the globe, with free egress and no api charges. It does have 90-day minimum storage charge, which means you are billed for every object for 90 days regardless of if you delete it before 90 days. In addition, the free egress has limits to prevent system abuse. There is a 30-day deleted storage charge available if you purchase in bulk with their RCS(reserved capacity) storage plan. It's good if you want to store a lot of data that does not need deletion.
I have accounts with all 3 of these for different use cases.
- dpatterbee 3y agoNote that in October B2 is removing egress costs and increasing storage prices to $6/TB.
- Dylan16807 3y ago* removing egress costs up to 3x your amount of stored data I'm pretty disappointed overall by the price increase for storage. Compared to when they launched B2, they now need 1/4 as many servers with 1/2 the upfront cost to store each petabyte.
- mappu 3y agoRegarding Hetzner Storage Box's 10 connection limit, Hetzner also has Storage Share (Nextcloud hosting) at basically the same price point (~3 EUR/TB at the 10TB+ size), only it comes with 200 connections. Rclone supports WebDAV for Nextcloud just as well.
