I’m looking for a diskspace of possibly 1TB online
Edit: my idea is to use it like as an external harddisk for everyday stuff. Encrypt the disk, put my filesystem on it, mount it as external drive kinda. Never worry about backups or lost data etc, as the provider would take care of it
You must log in or register to comment.
Since you didn’t mention your requirements, I’ll assume data integrity isn’t super important. In that case, allow me to introduce you to /dev/null as a service. It’s free and has unlimited capacity.
Now we just need to invent a way to read the Void of Nothingness to retrieve the data and bam! Infinite storage.
That’s easy, just read from /dev/urandom. The access speed is super slow, but eventually you’ll find your data
Idk man, I think it might have some reliability issues… I tried restoring my data and all I got back was a badly-typed copy of the complete works of Shakespeare.
Try running:
sed 's/blurst of times/worst of times/g'
Already exists, and it’s offered by IKEA. Here is the kit you need: 0 1
The only problem is that I don’t have the plans that shows how to assemble the parts.
I’d never expect to find an answer like this lol. Thankyou
Happy to help! Let me know if have any other technical questions :)
This is hilarious. I love it haha

Encrypt everything first and you’ll soon have entire communities trying to decipher it for fun.
Is this an ARG?
People will assume it’s an ARG even if it isn’t.
That’s pretty high risk, though, since the admins could notice at any time.
And then send us the links. Sharing is caring :)
On AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive 1TB will cost you $1/month. I use it as one of my off-site backup solutions.

How much will it cost to retrieve that backup though?
Around $120/TB from memory when I looked into it.
That’s too much for regular stuff, but if you’re using it to store your family photos and videos off-site in case of a fire etc, you’d pay it. Hmmm… I wonder whether you could get insurance to cover it?
I use it exactly for that. It’s a secondary, long term backup which I plan to hopefully never retrieve. It’s basically write-only for me and I hope it will remain that way. (Because if it’s not, I lost my on-site backup AND my primary cloud backup as well. So I’m probably very fucked.)
OVH is quite cheap (£0.0024/GB-month)
Depends what you want to do but Backblaze B2 is reasonably cheap. $6 per TB
Heck yeah, it’s great. Wasabi is nice too, but keep in mind they bill differently for storage vs retrieval.
It’s reasonably cheap and you pay only for what you use.
Yeah that’s the best for me. I use about 600GB.
500GB plans aren’t enough and 1TB plans are too much. Paying what you use is so good.
Depends for how long. Buying a used NAS with a single 1TB drive is probably cheaper over a 10 year period than subscribing to some cloud service for the same duration.
You mean three drives? You need data integrity, what if a drive fails? What if you have a raid 1 but when readding a new drive you have read errors? Parity is good.
Good point. Perhaps at least a 2 drive NAS then. 👍
Hey, interesting to see you back
Where did I go?
Check out Hetzner Storage Box. I’ve got 20TB for my Jellyfin library and it’s $50/mo.
Edit: use rclone to mount it as a network drive on your desktop.
Edit 2: Just checked and it’s $40/month
I’m kind of curious why you don’t just buy a HDD or two. At $600 a year you’d break even really quickly.
It’s a good question. If I had something like gigabit internet with high upload speeds I probably would (and eventually will). Right now though, I use Jellyfin from wherever I am, and I share it with a few friends and family too.
That makes sense! Thanks for sharing
Are you hosting Jellyfin in the cloud as well?
Yes. Also on Hetzner.
Never worry about backups or lost data etc, as the provider would take care of it
This is not how it works. You still have to backup your data!
Your account can be closed due to various reasons, you accidentally delete files, some malware deletes files without you noticing it before it is too late.
A friend of mine lost some important data because of the ovh server container fire incident. Ovh had no backups.
Ooofsh, thanks. You’re right
Another Backblaze user checking in 😁 I use their B2 service for $6/TB/mo, however they have an unlimited storage option for Windows/Mac if you’re interested in that
(preparing for inevitable downvotes) depending on how much storage you need and the flexibility you have in how you use it, Office365 includes 1TB of OneDrive storage for 6 users for somewhere around $100/yr. I use it for storing encrypted video files from my NVR and it works for my use case, but ymmv.
Backblaze.
9/month for unlimited storage.
I’m at 4tb stored.
It’s hard (and against ToS) to access B2C Backblaze with any S3/Swift API, though. So it depends a bit on your use-case.
OneDrive with Microsoft 365 Family subscription. There are several deals for 50€ per 15 Month for 1TB per Account. Since it is the family subscription you’ll get up to 6 Accounts. So it is 3.33€ for 6TB or 0.55€ per TB.
Where is MS Office 50€/15mo and can I use it in America? Been thinking about getting a new domain since I failed to get off google workspaces in time.
Sorry, can’t tell how the prices are in America. But for Germany this kind of deals are around pretty often.
I’ve been using Backblaze. Have no complaints
Yandex disk. They accept credit cards.
Hetzner storage box is 3.81€/month for 1TB.
Over the course of a year you basically bought an HDD (but excluding backups/power)
Off site storage is off site for a reason, though.
You could say this about any service.
You purchased a shit hard drive at that price and bad point anyway.
Eh, could be an average ish 2TB HDD
