Bandwidth prices vary widely and some are bad, so the “all in” price can be hard to figure. It’s definitely cheap to let your data just sit there. Move it anywhere — it might get expensive.

AWS charges $5 per million write requests, $0.40 per million read requests. Inbound bandwidth is free; outbound bandwidth ranges from free (within same AWS region) to $0.05/GB for public internet at scale.

The latter number can be pricey. But, irrelevant with respect to the failing costs of hard drives.
