What are you going to use it for?

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.
