Ice cold archive storage

It's a pretty good price but assuming you are storing 8TB and you get your own drive, the drive would pay for itself in about 14 months... so you would basically get the next 4 years for free if you are willing to manage it...

Will that storage have "11 9’s annual durability" and stored in multiple location?

Let say that you only need to write to it once, have 2 secure location available for free, that would still means that you need 2 of them which would pay for itself in 28 months then.

Sure it's "cheaper" but it's far from being as good and the price difference isn't that big.

Optimally running your own drives also assumes that you can fill the drives ... and the next byte doubles your cost.
