Which data storage media would be the cheapest (1 GB per penny) to make it as cheap as possible? Are external USB drives or pen drives the cheapest? How is it to buy several external USB drives or flash drives, each of them about 1 Terabyte or 1 external disk or flash drive with a capacity of several Terabytes. Is it, for example, to buy 1 external USB drive with a capacity of 10 Terabytes or 10 external drives of 1 Terabyte each. Are external USB drives or pen drives or any other media cheaper? In 2008, I thought that HD DVD or Blu-ray discs will become cheaper, but today's computers are slowly not building optical drives and Blu-ray or HD DVD discs are most often used for games on consoles, but I don't use consoles, I don't know what it's like with these plates. Are blank HD DVD or Blu-ray discs cheaper or more expensive Gigabytes per zloty compared to external USB drives or pendrives. The cheapest is to create free accounts in cloud services and when one free account is full, create a second one and so on, but then you are addicted to the Internet and the administrators of such a service can delete such an account. Why produce external USB SSDs when the most important thing is the price for the capacity, it is only unnecessarily more expensive and USB has high speed limits, it will not use the speed potential of these drives anyway. Servers similar in size to ordinary desktop computers are pointless, after all, the point is to record something and hide it in the closet, why pay for a box and install some server system (usually Linux) on it, as ordinary disks or pendrives take up much less space, but on YouTube I saw that some of them archive data in such servers. I have 1 Terabyte of camera vacation photos and 2 Terabytes of camera vacation videos over the past 10 years, but I could use a few Terabytes to spare. Now I keep my data on various free cloud services, of course, I created several dozen of these accounts so as not to pay for premium. Is it cheaper to get some data storage medias containing 4 or 5 Terabytes in total and wait a year or more until the data storage medias become even more expensive or is it not worth waiting and stock up on 10 Terabytes right away. When there is inflation now, but on the other hand technology is developing, will data storage medias be more expensive or cheaper in terms of capacity per price?
Before I decide to buy a data storage media, which cloud service currently has the most free capacity?
