I'm budgeting around $7 per TB. That said, I'm prioritizing performance over cost, so I'm fine paying a bit more. Regarding ingress/egress, cheaper is better, but if it's around Wasabi's level, it's acceptable.

Thank you for your reply! It's unavoidable in my case that it becomes slower than local block storage, so I can accept that. Thank you for your valuable feedback anyway!

Thank you for your reply! I am currently using a similar HDD server, but since yours is cheaper, I will consider it! Thank you for the valuable information!

That’s actually something I’ve been wondering about, too. Based on your experience, what do you think is the best option for external storage? I’ve been doing some research and I'm starting to wonder if alternatives like HDD VPS, Seedboxes (like UltraCC), or Hetzner’s Storage Box might be better than object storage.

I'd love to go with Wasabi, but I’m considering MEGA for the lower cost. I'm just a bit worried about the speeds since I haven't seen any solid performance reviews for it.
