> there is no fundamental technological barrier to building a true SSD-based, disaggregated storage service with the durability, capacity, and pricing profile needed to serve as a general-purpose replacement for S3
There are a lot of very competitive alternatives around today are largely unknown. For example B2 Overdrive by Backblaze boasting up to 1 Tbps, Wasabi offering byte-compatible S3 storage with no egress fees for reasonable use and Cloudflare R2 also with no egress, all priced comfortably under S3 before egress (which the the real kicker...how do you even put a cost on lock-in?).
Not shilling any of these. We use R2 and Wasabi as our storage backends...so we obviously like them, but are not paid to say good things about them.
