Did you have a look at rstor.io? They have free egress and even lower storage costs and also don't seem to charge for IOPS. Not as high profile as Cloudflare though.
Thanks! I'd never seen them. The only minor catches that I've seen are that they want you to start the account with $50 or more added, it's $6 per TB per month (rounded up to the nearest TB) with a 90 day minimum duration, and you're allowed 1TB egress per day for each TB you have stored.
They were also acquired very recently[2] though no clue how that might impact things.
I'm fine with all those except the pre-loading $50 just to test, though that's as I want to test it personally. If I were using a business account that's not as much an issue.
You're right, I misread it and now can't edit my comment. This puts it all in quite a similar position to Wasabi[1] who have a 1:1 storage:transfer ratio per month and a 90 day minimum storage duration as well. In fact, their price per terabyte is almost exactly the same ($5.99 for Wasabi vs $6 for Rstor).
It's a shame as I love aspects of this type of storage service, even with the caveats, but they're not useful if there's no way to pay more for excess transfer. Luckily I think R2 fits that requirement (though paying for more operations vs paying for more transfer).
That's interesting... When talking to their reps I mentioned Wasabi and asked if they have similar limitations and they said "no". I wonder if enterprise customers are treated differently?
> There are no charges for outbound data transfer when using a dedicated network connection to the RSTOR network and direct peering is established. These connections are charged separately. To find out more please contact us.
I would imagine for enterprise customers you might either be using direct peering / similar or they're able to charge based upon ballpark bandwidth usage. Otherwise I'm unsure as it does seem quite in line with Wasabi otherwise.
If I recall correctly, that's only good up until the total storage. So if you store, say, 100GB of files total, you only have free egress up until 100GB/month
