Half price is of course better, but for my use case, I want something ten times cheaper. I'm willing to trade convenience and latency for that cost saving.

Use case: I want to be able to shoot several minutes of video on my cell phone and keep it backed up in the cloud without feeling like I've incurred a $1/year charge for the rest of my life.



im not sure with todays technology you could go cheaper than 4c/GB for a service like that. Doing it on your own would be $50 for 3TB cartridge == 2c/GB.


Do you mean 4c/GB/month? The $50 cartridge fee would be non-recurring except for storage.


Less recurring, but still recurring. Those tapes wear out eventually.


yes you are right! (sorry)
