Any minute now someone will compare this price to triple replicated, multiple availability zone, fully managed, object storage from one of the big three... Any minute..
Datacenter grade unlimited connections are very valuable. Consider that someone like Google would charge you $0.10 per Gigabyte for egress traffic, and you can get that every 16 seconds with this connection...
I have no sources to link but from personal anecdotal experience, ~3$ a TB has been the average for every dedicated non-cloud provider I’ve used. I’ve not paid more than $10 a TB in quite a while.
This is not even counting bargain sellers like OVH, Online.net, Leaseweb, and Hetzner.
Higher tier datacenters like IBM (formerly Softlayer) offer 100tb dedicated servers for ~200$ through their affiliates and/or resellers.
Bandwidth prices have been on the decline everywhere except the cloud providers, who I honestly believe are gouging. Especially when I’ve encountered terrible throughput on some of them (I’m talking about you Azure, and your non-standard MTU mess)

- Regional: 73,728 GB
- Class A operations: 100 million
- Class B operations: 100 million
- Total Estimated Cost: USD 2,014.19 per 1 month
I'm mildly impressed. I was expecting an extra zero or something.
If I switch to "multi-regional" it goes up to $2,456.66/mo.
On "regional" with 250 million ops, it's $2,824.19/mo.
It's difficult (but of course ;P) to compare millions of ops per month to the kind of work you can do on a dedicated VPS.
Egress - Americas/EMEA: 161,792 GB
USD 13,260.80
That'd be it ;)
Impressed. Makes for a nice Debian/Arch/etc mirror
Isn't RAIDZ2 60%? That would mean (approx) 43.2TB usable.
Yes please!
Now, to generate $200/mo...
(Just kidding)

Only usb key they can map to your server.
So only compress, do not dedup :p
I mean, it's just a plain server. No "cloudish" stuff, but I see people too often using expensive storages without really needing it...
