With B2 or similar S3 based storage, it's generally in one datacenter. But at least from what I've heard, stuff like Storj or Sia has an advantage from your files being stored over a large geographic area in multiple places.
that's true for B2, but not for s3. From AWS:
>your objects are automatically stored across multiple devices spanning a minimum of three Availability Zones, each separated by miles across an AWS Region
I see their pricing [0] has improved but does anyone have a good comparison of the true costs of various storage systems? I feel like I’m dealing with comparing Roblox to hearthstone gems when trying to figure out the cost of S3 vs Storj vs Filecoin vs whatever.
It seems like there should be some p2p system where I can share 100GB on my storage array in return for 10GB that’s reliable enough that it will always be there if my house burns down.
Currently I use S3 Glacier because S3 is too expensive.
All you need is an AWS cost and usage report and we can tell you the tradeoffs including egress fees and everything.
Would be more than happy to help you out with this.
I'd rather be paid in money
(for me it's the lack of one way sync, ignoring deletes, and no partial directory sync)
