S3 is designed for 99.999999999% durability. Hetzner's Volume storage is just replication between 3 different physical servers. In terms of durability that's a universe apart.

S3 is beyond impressive, but how many workloads truly need that? I’ve never had a single instance of data loss on a NetApp or Pure array.

  That sounds like accessibility, not durability.
