I wonder what kind of HDD setup they (and AWS, and Azure, etc) are using.

A reasonable price point is that of a 10 TB HDD, you would need 430 new disks of that size everyday.

Would love to learn about what kind of contracts they enter in with hardware manufacturers.

The storage company most willing to explain what they're doing is Backblaze. Their blog is great. https://www.backblaze.com/blog/category/cloud-storage/storag...
