Discussion Storage

[Zilano]

Err, we are talking terabytes here ...
Where I live, S3 Standard costs me 2,45 Cent per Gigabyte per month ... I currently have (only) 6 TB of video data, which would sum up to 1764 Bucks per year ... no thanks!
And that does not even include the fee of 9 cent per GB, if I transfer more than 100GB per month (outgoing) so if I needed a restore of all my data, that would be around 500 Bucks

you are right S3 is highly cost but it is very reliable and secured , finally it depends on your budget

That might make some sense for normal files although I would argue there are simpler and more cost effective ways to do this. But in the context of media I think that is a bad idea given the cost and if you consider the risk of pulling titles from AP with AS and storing them on S3, well that seems like a bad idea to me. Just my take on that.

For me, our company can afford this cost, as I said it depends on the available budget, and there are many other cloud services that are affordably priced, they can be taken into consideration like Dropbox and IDrive.

I just bought a couple of these for doing external backups for my NAS and the accessing all drives backing up my AnyDVD rips and AnyStream downloads:

It got rid of a rats nest of cables, enclosures and smaller docking stations.

I keep all my external drives in these:

Or, on a more limited budget, I've been using one of these since 2020, reliable, no issues.

I was looking at that, but went with the Sabrent instead. So far, I'm please with it. I'm currently stress-testing it. When I get a new piece of hardware that affects my data, I like to beat the crap out of it.

I once bought a USB hub that would fail on about 1 bit out of every terabyte. The company thought that was acceptable. I don't find any data corruption acceptable.
