[Pasig-discuss] Arguments for keeping an onsite copy of digitally preserved/stored digital content?

[Jacob Farmer]

Included  URL down below with a different perspective.  This is a link to
a 10TB hard drive on New Egg.  A raw terabyte of disk capacity is less
than $40 these days.  You can put this in a cheap RAID system or in a
server with a RAID card.  Normally, I don't advocate low end, home-grown
storage systems, but if you also have copies in the cloud, it is a very
inexpensive insurance policy.  Of course, a better solution would be to
spend on the order of $100 or $150 per TB and get something enterprise
class.  There are tons of options.

#1 - See:

#2 - See https://aws.amazon.com/glacier/pricing/ and do the math.
      Glacier is cheap(-ish) provided you only access a small part
      of your data each month. If you need the whole thing, it costs
      a lot at a time when you're probably short of cash.
