I mean, as smaller objects become more valuable, it becomes harder to find a place safe enough to hold them. And banks don't make money off safe deposit boxes - they're loss leaders to get banking customers.

However, the number of places where you can more securely store small objects with excellent and armed security exploded in recent years. They are currently used to host servers and other internet facing computers. I'm sure they'll store a similar rack-mounted box containing your will if you offer to pay them.

Almost all of them are, if you're willing to pay. Expect to pay on the order of $400-$800/month for a bare basic cabinet with minimal power/network in one of these facilities. You can put whatever you want in your cabinet, doesn't have to be computer equipment.

Good point, you could store a 2U, and the upside is the ability to communicate on the network if the box gets opened. Virtually no chance to lose network connectivity.

Datacenter construction costs often exceed $250/sqft.

That's $2500/sqm

Full access control with background checks.

They aren't putting anything of yours in their building
