I've read about these Backblaze boxes before but my feeling was that they were built for archive/backup purposes. I just visited the site again and it says "cheap cloud storage". I get mixed feelings about it because the our storage servers used by the VMware/Xen hosts usually run out of IOPS before capacity is fully utilized. Price, performance, capacity... pick two. -- Giovanni Tirloni [email protected]
