1 TB for $49.99 is a steal.-Dirhael (April 26, 2012, 10:54 PM)

$50/mo is a steal for 1 TB? At that price I could buy about six 2 TB hard drives per year. At the end of a year I'd have 12 TB of storage space for the same price.
You're right it's a steal. But who is stealing from whom? :-\

Compared to the competition, it's a good deal. Also, yes, it's expensive compared to purchasing a HDD yourself, but that's hardly comparable. Sure, if I upgraded my connection I could run my own server, but for that to be anywhere near useful I'd need to upgrade my connection to something that's up for the job. At that point, I'd be spending a lot more than $50/month, and that's without factoring in the cost of having yet another PC powered on 24/7. Also, I'm not about to start making my own Win/iOS/Android clients either...

Actually, it's not. I have about 5TB stored on S3 and I pay about $25/mo...

$50 * 5 (1TB @ 50 bucks per year) == 250
5TB @ 25 per month == 300
300 > 250
Jibz:
The $50 for 1 TB at google is per month.
The best value seems to be 100 GB, since for the rest of them, doubling the space costs 1 cent more than the previous step (how odd).
