Is anyone using backblaze b2 here for storage? I have a great confusion. They say their price is 0.005 $ per gb and you can store unlimited data but when i calculate via their price calculator their total cost is 7 times more than what they promise

i entered initial upload- 1000gb monthly upload - 1000gb period of time - 12 months so according to 5 $/ tb total price should be 65$ but its showing 450$

So if anyone has any idea please help me out

How much are you putting for monthly upload? That's the amount of data uploaded after the initial 1000GB.

Based on the numbers you said (1TB initial upload, plus 1TB more each month) by the 12th month you would be storing 13TB. (13*1000*0.005)=$65 for storage in the 12th month. Plus there is a cost for data that is downloaded.

 

If you just want to upload 1TB, and then either not upload anything, or delete equal to what you upload so that you remain at 1TB constantly, then you would be charged $5/month for storage.

Looking to buy GTX690, other multi-GPU cards, or single-slot graphics cards:
