A grande pergunta de quem faz self-hosting. Vale pagar mensalmente pela nuvem ou simplesmente comprar seus próprios discos?
Aqui está a resposta direta para quem guarda dados a sério.
Comprar discos é bem mais barato para armazenamento em massa guardado a longo prazo. Nem é disputa.
A tabela acima mostra o preço por TB em tempo real no seu marketplace, que é o número exato que resolve essa discussão.
A matemática que encerra o debate
Essa é a parte que os provedores de nuvem preferem que você não calcule.
Um HD é um custo único. Você paga uma vez, por TB, e fica com ele por anos.
O armazenamento na nuvem cobra um valor parecido por TB, mas todo mês, para sempre.
Então, se um disco custa um certo valor por TB uma única vez, e a nuvem cobra uma fração disso a cada mês, você empata em um tempo surpreendentemente curto. Muitas vezes dentro de um ano. Depois disso, o disco vira praticamente armazenamento de graça enquanto a fatura da nuvem continua chegando.
Olhe o preço por TB em tempo real acima e imagine pagar uma fatia disso todo mês em vez de uma vez só. Esse é o acordo da nuvem.
Quando a nuvem realmente vence
Não sou contra a nuvem, então vamos ser justos, porque ela tem pontos fortes de verdade.
A nuvem é a escolha certa quando você quer:
- Pequenos volumes de dados, onde o custo mensal é irrisório.
- Compartilhamento fácil e acesso de qualquer dispositivo, em qualquer lugar.
- Backup automático fora do local sem nenhum hardware para rodar.
- Sem gasto inicial e nada para manter.
Para as fotos de um celular ou alguns documentos, a nuvem é excelente e barata o suficiente para nem se preocupar. A comodidade vale muito a pena em pequena escala.
Quando ter discos próprios vence de goleada
No momento em que seus dados crescem, a matemática vira do avesso.
Terabytes de mídia, backups, arquivos, uma coleção que não para de crescer. É aí que as taxas mensais da nuvem se acumulam em dinheiro de verdade, e ter discos próprios economiza uma fortuna.
Datahoarders não compram discos porque curtem fazer isso. Compram discos porque pagar mensalmente para guardar 50TB na nuvem dói no bolso.
Tenha o volume principal em seus próprios discos e o custo para no dia da compra.
O híbrido inteligente
Você não precisa escolher um lado. A melhor configuração usa os dois.
- Discos próprios para o volume principal, usando o melhor preço por TB na tabela em tempo real acima.
- Redundância em casa para que um disco morto não vire drama.
- Uma pequena quantidade de nuvem como backup fora do local para o que é realmente insubstituível.
Isso te dá armazenamento em massa barato mais a rede de segurança fora do local, sem pagar mensalmente por cada último terabyte.
Conclusão
O armazenamento na nuvem só é mais barato para dados pequenos, compartilhados ou sincronizados o tempo todo. Para armazenamento em massa guardado a longo prazo, comprar seus próprios discos vence com facilidade e continua vencendo em cada mês em que você não está pagando uma assinatura.
Confira o preço por TB em tempo real acima, faça a conta rápida do ponto de equilíbrio e tenha o controle do seu armazenamento em massa. Mantenha um pouco de nuvem para segurança fora do local, e você fica com o melhor dos dois mundos sem a fatura eterna drenando sua carteira.
