Granted - Chia changes the math on this a little bit and you'll need to decide whether a 14TB EasyStore at $420 is worth it the same way it was at $230. Do you have 10TB of data you need to have everywhere or do you may have an icloud/onedrive/google-one amount of data you need everywhere and maybe some easystores would be fine for your bulk archival/hoarding need. So, the question I'd ask before you put a whole bunch of data up in this service is what you really need. IME desktop sized USB external disks last about a decade these days. (And, arguably, you want that - unprofitable cloud services shut down abruptly causing data loss.)īefore around March you could get a 14TB WD easystore for around $230 and if you have any faith whatsoever that that drive will last 2.5 years you've already broken even, in terms of raw capacity. Probably less than I want to think because the machines still require staff hours and electricity but.
At that price, they're making a relatively tidy profit.
These prices are a loss leader to get you and your data into the ecosystem so that you don't have much choice but to stay when the price goes up.ġ0TB appears to have a normal price of around $100-year.
