No one seems to talk about the pricing aspect of this. Developers would want these us-fail-1 regions to be cheap or free since they wouldn't be using this for production purposes. And before you know it, a lot of hobbyist developers will start using these as their production setup since they wouldn't mind a 1% downtime if they could pay less for it.

A us-fail-1 at lower price sounds like an excellent way to recycle SSD/HDDs that reach end-of-safe-life but that might still run for years.

To be honest, for the people who _really_ want this, I'd think around 10-100x pricing would be fine, or a base fee of 10k/mo or something
