Hi Walter H,

My budget is around USD$50 per year.

Thank you.

Wow. A single disk for a PC (lowest size 1 TB) usually costs more than USD$50 in
retail store.
Capacity for a single drive is just now available at 6 TB and 8 TB capacities,
so 50 TB would require storage array network (SAN) h/w at hosting provider
(which isn't cheap).

That amount of storage ( 50 TB ) from an online provider probably isn't
available within your stated budget.
Just the disk drives alone to hold 50 TB would cost more than USD$50.

Hi Merka,

I understand. I probably wanted data "redundancy" in the Cloud only.

Thank you.

The cheapest RAID-friendly drives we?re buying these days are about US $37/TB in
low quantities.

A big data warehouser will be getting a substantial price break on their drives,
but even halving the payoff time, you?re still asking the cloud storage provider
to accept a payoff time in the 18 year range.  And that?s ignoring the cost of
rack space, computers to run the drives, networking, bandwidth, staff,
redundancy, drive turnover...

There?s nothing magical about The Cloud that makes everything cheaper.  They
still have to buy the same components you and I do, then they have to pay
someone to manage it all, someone else to house it all, etc.

You?re *dreaming*.

$38/tb? Google shopping shows me a 4TB WD Red at $110. A two-drive esata
bay is under $100.

Btw, for anything like this, DO NOT BUY consumer grade drives. Make *sure*
they're NAS-rated, like WD Red or Seagate Ironwolf.

Or trolling.  This user has a history of multiposting troll content (and
indeed, he multiposted this to the Ubuntu mailing list too).
