Pricing is falling rapidly for storage.  Consider that S3 - IA is $15&#x2F;mo for a TB, and backblaze B2 can offer 1 TB for $5&#x2F;mo.  I would assume both are making some profit at those price points, so $12&#x2F;TB&#x2F;mo should be workable if the service is doing their own hardware.<p>Backup services especially have low operational requirements for their hardware and network connection, since once the files are uploaded they only need to be verified periodically.
