🚫 Not suitable for very small files (>4KB) because Storj DCS charges a “per segment” fee that somewhat relates to the number of files and size of the files you’re storing 🚫 Charges for bandwidth ($7/TB), including to CDN 🚫 Lack of connectedness with native services ✅ Can host your own gateway or use Storj's ✅ Decentralized storage (multi-region/geo-redundant) With incredibly low storage costs and reasonable egress fees, Storj is a compelling option for use cases that don’t require connectivity outside of a CDN. Storj DCS is decentralized, making the defaults more secure than other providers. For most use cases, it’s cheaper than Backblaze B2, and is even competitive with Wasabi for archival use cases. Storj DCS is usually the best specialized storage provider for multi-region use cases. This alliance offers free egress from Backblaze B2 to the CDN provider which can massively reduce costs.Ĭloudflare R2, while still not released, will also be a major contender here. In this case, egress is typically the most expensive portion of your bill.īackblaze B2 is especially compelling for this use case due to their bandwidth alliance with Cloudflare and Fastly. Read more about how it works from their page here.Īre most of your files served directly to the web? You’ll likely be using a CDN like Cloudflare, Fastly or Cloudfront. Their encryption and splitting process means that no one can “peer” into your data. Objects are encrypted, split up and stored on different nodes all across the world. Storj DCS is a decentralized storage provider. Storj DCS is another great hot archival storage service due to their attractive pricing and reasonable latencies. Some storage classes are actually cheaper than with Wasabi, but depending on your egress fees or minimum object storage duration, Wasabi may be less expensive. Google Cloud’s archive storage, unlike Amazon S3, has archive tiers with low latency.
While they do have an egress limit, it’s defined as being “ less than or equal to your active storage volume.” If you’re able to save on egress and store high volumes, Wasabi becomes an affordable and reliable solution. Wasabi is a fantastic vendor for this use case. Store a lot of files, access them infrequently, but need quick access? A common example is video surveillance. It has a more complete feature set than Backblaze B2 or Storj, but has egress limits.
Wasabi is another fantastic "low cost" provider. Looking to save money and don't need features like "eventing" or "tagging"? Backblaze B2 and Storj DCS are fantastic, low cost options. For example, it's cost prohibitive to run Snowflake or Google Bigquery on Backblaze B2. Need to connect your object storage to a data analytics platform? The lack of native integration will limit your choices. Integration with Data Analysis and Other Cloud Services
