Amazon S3 Storage rates. 4k monthly bill..Is this for real?

[wappinghigh]

I just filled out an "estimate" for Amazon Storage..

My estimate was for 10TB/month, reduced redundancy storage (not unreasonable for a moderate size movie library..)

With very little data in (10 GB) per month ie a couple of movies

And none out (assume no rebuild required..)

And 10 requests per month..

And the figure?

$3,906 per month.

Would this be correct?...Is this for real? :|

Buy another Synology and put it at your office.

Find a good friend and ask to put a computer/storage in his/her site. Use a tool like Windows Live Skydrive to sync the delta's across the wire. This would beat any online storage cost.

I'm using Crashplan, can sync multiple PCs and what not and they have cheap monthly/yearly rates.

+1 for Crashplan. If you have friend/relative/work, no cost at all.

You can get huge TB of storage with Dropbox for $795/year. That seems like a much better way to go than Amazon storage.

That said, I agree with these guys...just get another NAS and keep it somewhere else.

You should be looking at Glacier not S3

But either way, a second 10 TB NAS stored offsite would be a cheaper plan.
