Where are you seeing these durability claims? I can't find them. And what would 12 9s durability even mean? You lose one byte out of every TB?

- throwawaymsft 12y agoI'm thinking (unrecoverable data loss / total data stored) in their system per year.
- manacit 12y agoIt's 11, not 12, I misspoke. Those claims are from glacier: http://aws.amazon.com/glacier/faqs/ http://aws.amazon.com/glacier/faqs/ which is priced the same per GB of data. In this case, the durability refers to the loss of data/objects stored per year - if you're sending multiple PBs of data off to Glacier, you want to be able to retrieve them many years later. Even 5 9s would mean that 1 object out of 100,000 is lost every year, which is quite poor.
