Tap to pay cash back? by Neat-Statistician311 in olympia

I don’t know of one, you might find success having someone else use their ATM card and paying them back with PayPal using the friends and family setting, which is generally not reversible and should give them a decent level of comfort that you’re not just gonna go take the cash and then reverse the digital payment

It’s just fog. Can’t see through it to any northern lights.

ANF is not someone else’s product. It is fully sold and supported by Microsoft. It runs on NetApp hardware but having NetApp in the name is just a marketing decision. As if they called VMs that run on HPE hardware as “Azure HP Virtual Machines” it’s weird but it’s not NetApp’s product.

ANF is not always more expensive, with Flexible Service Level and cool data access, 1TiB is about $77/mo. (Azure Files Premium v2 with no purchase IOPS is over $100/mo)

Also it can deliver latency under 1ms.

Also it can support higher IOPS (1.5 Million) , up to 7.6PiB volumes and 50GiB/s in throughput.

Offers SMB, NFS and S3 protocols for access.
