![]() ![]() You have nothing but my word to go by, but I am telling you that B2 is priced as low as we can provide and not lose money.īackblaze does NOT do "unlimited" to attract customers with more data. I get the feeling you think B2 is over priced, and that the Backblaze Online Backup client (for Mac and Windows) is more fairly priced. No, it costs less if you have less than a TByte. In order to accomplish what a Windows or Mac user can have costs $xx more than what they pay. I'm just tired of hearing people bitch when they expect the world for $5/month. You have to be fucking joking, one person cannot possibly contain this much stupid. The fuck is an OS-ist hater? Minorities? Equality? You must be fucking drunk. ![]() Or do you? I'm sure they get a discount on drives because of bulk ordering but they have other costs you don't.īut hey, if you can do it so much cheaper, then do if and sell it to datahoarders, if you can do it that cheap you'll be rich! You don't pay staff, massive electric bills, huge internet connections, health insurance, business taxes, retirement plans, replacing failed drives, security, a building, maintenance, r&d, and other lights on costs. It really isn't, backblaze themselves said the margins were fairly low at $5/tb. Though actually using the cloud to backup important files (not torrents) likely wouldn't be that much. ISP data restrictions only make the problem worseĪs it would for most. I don't do online backup (& never have) because it's more affordable to run my own backup system. Shunned? Hypocrisy? Do you even know what those words mean?įyi, people who act entitled often don't. There are farrrrrrr fewer windows hoarders. You're just an OS-ist hater who believes in stereotypes and supports discrimination against minorities who fight for equality. I could EXPAND my storage by 8TB every month for less than $200/mo. (Keep in mind my stored data is NOT rapidly growing.)Ī company buying in bulk and running newer systems with a higher storage density would certainly spend even less than that. ![]() I'm more than happy to not spend my money on companies that don't meet my needs.Īll things considered it costs me WAY less $5/mo to do it myself. Sure I'd like unlimited backup, but I'm happy to keep doing what I have been until such time that it exists. ISP data restrictions only make the problem worse. Point is: Windows hoarders are welcome to (ab)use the service, but responsible Linux users are shunned. People like you literally killed off nice services like ACD and crashplan personal because you abused the shit out of them. Stop being so fucking entitled thinking a company owes you unrealistically cheap storage.Įdit: I apologize for the harsh language but I'm sick of seeing such entitlement out of some people. I'm sure there are windows based hoarders who are costing them money, but it wouldn't be the deluge they'd get if they opened up linux. It turns out most people who hoard are using linux based systems, so it's an easy discriminator to keep people who abuse the service off it. So tell me how spending $200 a month on your storage is profitable when only charging $5? How can you not see that storing 40 terabytes for $5 a month isn't realistic? True cost of storage is about $5 per terabyte. The $5 unlimited plan disappeaes and the home line would blend with b2, and it becomes am ala carte like b2. Cost would be around $5 per terabyte stored. They raise prices/go to a tiered data plan. If they all of a sudden started allowing linux clients to dump like they do in b2 then you would see one of two things happen. The $5 a month "unlimited" works because utilization is low. So build a windows machine, do it and shut the fuck up, you entitled brat. ![]()
