You’re probably referring to Linode’s block storage. These Hetzner services are like Linode’s object storage service.

Hetzner too has block storage volumes but they cost more than storage boxes. I think block storage typically costs more because it supports higher IOPS.

Not really. Linode's object storage presents an S3 interface. Hetzner is more low-level: it's got FTP, SMB, WebDAV and they say it can be used as a network volume.

EDIT: Hetzner's Cloud Volume, which is an actual mountable block device and backed by an SSD, is €48/mo for 1TB, still half as cheap as Linode.

The storage box isn't an object store - it's basically a CIFS share off a fileserver
