> S3’s dominance is due to its many advantages: effectively infinite capacity, high durability, and low per-gigabyte capacity cost.It's not "cheap". 6 months of S3 is at around price of outright buying 4TB SSD at retail price. That before you do any IOPS to itS3 is terrible deal on any front. it's just easy
S3 cost growth is so gradual most businesses will just absorb the cost. We have some physical backups, but everyone is more than happy to not be shuffling around physical hard drives, and pay Amazon to deal with that and securely store it.
