>> The Backblaze cloud backup service currently receives about 140,000 GB of data from our customers each day.

Is that counting de-duplication and compression? Do they really have 10TB worth of internet connection?

Yev from Backblaze here -> That is our traffic coming in, so after the client deduplicates, encrypts, and transmits the data.

That's "only" ~13Gb/s.

Still, yow. That's a lot of data.

Thanks for the interesting post. Where did you buy the Seagate ST6000DX000 from and for how much?

In terms of cost, does the storage pod beat archive.org's petabox?
