| | | AMAZON JUST KILLED THE BEST DEAL IN TECH
Nothing lasts forever. In fact, some things only last two years, two months, and 14 days. That’s how long, at least, Amazon’s absurdly cheap unlimited cloud storage made it. Now that the greatest deal in tech has come to an end, it’s worth taking a fresh look at your data-stashing options.
Amazon’s Unlimited Everything plan truly was unprecedented when the company announced it in 2015, and went unmatched ever since. For $60 per year, you could keep as much as you could muster in your own private Amazon cloud locker. The industry standard, then and now, is roughly $10 per month for 1TB of space. Which is to say, twice as much as Amazon’s offering had been, with a firm cap, instead of all-you-can-cloud.
The good news? Amazon’s still comparatively cheap. While the company killed off unlimited, it still gives you 1TB for the same $60 per year, with an extra $60 for every terabyte thereafter, up 30 terabytes. Not bad! Here’s how it measures up to your other top options—especially now that Apple slashed its iCloud pricing this week.
