No read/write - only write. Plus the shear simplicity of the offering. They do absolutely nothing but permanently retain dumb storage so there must be a real or predicted break even point at which profits roll in. Since this is permanent storage and the predicted use will mean that on a monthly basis each client will begin paying more and more just to have all their permanent storage alive - forever. But $1.00 per TB per month is still  I know. |

I know theres no reads, but obviously there is a way to get your data out of them? Otherwise wtf is the point?

Think Iron Mountain. A separate mechanism to retrieve your data if/when needed, decoupled from the storing of it.

yep i get it.
The issue i guess for perk and me would be that we would be doing SAN snapshots to it, or differentials, but there would be no way to find out the delta, since there is no read... I gotta see if they have a solution that works with backup software.

If they are totally legit then it MIGHT be a tape replacement ... Think never-used-backup-that's-just-for-insurance ... But I agree it looks little dicey. A buck a T is beyond stupidly low. Perhaps, since its write only, they have purchased huge volumes of old tapedrives and tapes the inference is contemporary storage, but they're using outdated stuff that was purchased for a song.

If anything I believe it would be a terrible scam, and not very funny at all once the money was drained from your account...
