    I have a 190TB NAS, and Backblaze is $99 for unlimited. At least it was until now

      Backblaze is definitely losing money on you every year, so good luck finding an alternative. I pay $100+/month just in power and network costs to have my own hardware colocated in a real data center, and that’s saving me money compared to renting 200TB anywhere else.
