Amazon S3 Experiment at an end for now – Jason DeFillippo
"If I finished putting my archives on S3 it would cost me well over $200 a month. I’m not even going to get into much deep math here because all I gotta tell you is that there are 1 TB USB 2 External drives on Amazon for under $150. So I can buy a new TB every MONTH, copy a backup to it and ship it offsite and let it sit and it’s cheaper than S3"
