Thanks! I'd never seen them. The only minor catches that I've seen are that they want you to start the account with $50 or more added, it's $6 per TB per month (rounded up to the nearest TB) with a 90 day minimum duration, and you're allowed 1TB egress per day for each TB you have stored.

They were also acquired very recently[2] though no clue how that might impact things.

I'm fine with all those except the pre-loading $50 just to test, though that's as I want to test it personally. If I were using a business account that's not as much an issue.

”you're allowed 1TB egress per day for each TB you have stored.”

Where did you find the reference to 1TB per day?

On the page it says:

“1 TB of data egress for every 1 TB storage capacity used”

I would have assumed this is per month.

You're right, I misread it and now can't edit my comment. This puts it all in quite a similar position to Wasabi[1] who have a 1:1 storage:transfer ratio per month and a 90 day minimum storage duration as well. In fact, their price per terabyte is almost exactly the same ($5.99 for Wasabi vs $6 for Rstor).

It's a shame as I love aspects of this type of storage service, even with the caveats, but they're not useful if there's no way to pay more for excess transfer. Luckily I think R2 fits that requirement (though paying for more operations vs paying for more transfer).

That's interesting... When talking to their reps I mentioned Wasabi and asked if they have similar limitations and they said "no". I wonder if enterprise customers are treated differently?
