Hard Drive Cost Per Gigabyte
https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-cost-per-gigabyte/
When Backblaze purchased hard drives back in 2009, we paid over $0.11
per gigabyte. In 2017, when we did a review of the cost of hard drives,
the cost per gigabyte had fallen to just below $0.03 per gigabyte.
Today, we can get 16TB hard drives for about $0.014 per gigabyte on
average. Thats not quite a penny, but we think well get there soon
enough. In the meantime, lets look at our hard drive purchases over the >years and see what we can learn about the cost per gigabyte of hard
drive storage.
