I saw Amazon's Glacier service but I'm interested to know if there is anything cheaper. I don't need particularly fast reading or writing abilities, just the ability to do it when needed.
- stevekemp 12y agoIf latency isn't a problem a tape writer and a bunch of tapes can be very very very cheap...
- shiftpgdn 12y agoHow long will you be storing the data? How important is the data? What level of redundancy do you need? How much data is there? How frequently will you be writing new data into the storage set?
- JacobEdelman 12y agoAs long as the service can store my data with a less then 1% chance of loosing it in a given year and allows me to access it at the rate of a few gigabytes per month I'd be happy. I'd be storing anywhere from a few gigs to a few terabytes.
- shiftpgdn 12y agoI don't think you're going to get cheaper than Glacier. You could probably colo an atom server with 2x 6TB drives fairly cheaply somewhere but then you'd have to amortize the $8000~ cost of the server over how long you plan to keep it running.
- shiftpgdn 12y agoMeant to write $800, not $8000.
