    I'm up to 45TB of actual used storage. I just want another tape analog. I want inexpensive, slow, long-term storage I can move off-site easily. This paying double to keep disks around and then moving them in boxes is just bad, and online storage is stupid expensive at those sizes.

    Was running on Backblaze for years until they screwed around with my client enough that I can't backup my NAS reliably. I'm not a company, I'm not going to pay the cost of my disks every year to store the content of my disks.

    I've been considering for a few years standing up a 2u box in colocation.
