I am trying to get away from Google and am looking for a decent cloud service that’s integrated well into Linux, either by itself or by using rclone.

I tried Proton drive, but it is laggy and overall not very good.

I just need storage, nothing fancy. Self hosting is not an option tough, at this time.

EDIT: I don’t want to write the same answer 15 times, so I’ll just put this here: Thanks a lot for the recommendations to all of you! I’ve got some reading up to do now :-)

    Those cheaper drives scare me.

    What grinds my gears is you can rent enough compute to handle this for $30 a month. That covers redundant internet, staff, fire suppression, generators, air conditioning.

    I want to couple that with a chassis full of sata. Obviously more power and heat but not 16 times that.

    You can get 2u of colocation for about a hundred bucks per month. I’ve been pondering for a few years building out a 4u chassis and doing a friends and fam storage co-op. You could do a 208tb (real 189) z2 with two parity drives for around $4,500 bucks plus 100-130 a month.

    The current pricing is all based on SAS. Even the companies that aren’t using SAS are still charging like it is.

      My husband says that they follow a “bathtub” curve and they either die in the first 60 days or last about 2 years when they are scheduled to be replaced.

      Further he says enterprise drives stopped having ECC in 2008; so they stopped having any reason to trust them more.

        I don’t trust anything further than their warranty. They’re setting their warranty to protect their bank account; those numbers will average in their favor.
