Considered Both Products	DigitalOcean Spaces No answer on this topic	Wasabi Object Storage Kyle Bergeron IT Manager Chose Wasabi Object Storage Azure was too expensive for a cold solution. While it was backed up across 3 different data centers, it wasnt worth the cost. Google cloud is comparable in price, but Google is Google. And they arent good for DoD backups as your data could end up in a foriegn datacenter. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Wasabi Object Storage Wasabi is a tiny bit more expensive than Backblaze B2 ($5.99 vs $5 per TB per month), and there are minimum storage size/time requirements (1TB, 3Mo), but Wasabi has free traffic each month up to the size of storage which can save you a lot of money.
