Replying to myself, as the math is confusing me. If the targets add up to 30PB of capacity-reservation… then to maintain it SLC would have to be uploading 1PB/day steady-state to keep up with 30-day-TTL data expiring… wouldn’t it?
If a 1Gbps Internet connection can move around 10TB/day… then SLC would have to fill a 100Gbps connection 24x7. I can’t imagine how much Storj is paying for that class of bandwidth.
Or did I add it up wrong? If targets are quarterly… wouldn’t it makes sense to have 90-day TTL… so the required upload rate would be 1/3rd? (You can still force-delete TTL files if you need the space back sooner).
(Edit: Also, I want a pic of SLC’s upload hardware: it must be beefy!)
(Edit #2: Is this worse than I think… because to have space to hold 30PB of customer files… you’d have to upload around 2.7x that amount to the network? So 2.7PB SLC uploads/day?)
(Edit #3: I guess I don’t need to know these answers. I’m content if I see my HDD fill a bit more every month… 
)
