Wasabi: $5.99/TB/month (Discounts over 50TB on 1, 3 or 5 years upfront) IDrive: $4.09/TB/month ($40/TB/year $4/TB/year for first year Promo)

I started using and testing 3 object storage providers in the past month: Wasabi, Backblaze B2 and iDrive E2 and here are my findings. So I decided to write this post for other Veeam customers out there doing the same research, and hopefully it helps them in their decision. There are many object storage providers out there but I could not find any comparisons on these forums. This prompted me into looking at other object storage providers that offered cheaper storage and no API (PUT) transaction costs. First, I tried changing all our backup jobs to use Large Blocks (4MB) to reduce the API calls (which were very high using the default block size of 1MB) which helped reducing our costs by 25%, but increased the incrementals size considerably (using more precious space of our Performance Tier storage). I have been using Azure cool storage as our Capacity Tier for several months, however I wanted to reduce costs since our data keeps growing and API transaction costs represented almost 50% of our bill.
