    You pay either way.
    Up front or over a span of time…
    What matters is what you need from your storage.

        Again: It depends.

        I would use it as a storage provider on which I would put an encrypted veracrypt drive (or whatevee is the good stuff).
        Or as an off-site storage provider for my backup.

        As a single atorage site? Nah. Too expensive for my home needs.
        For a business? If you can’t afford to drop 1200€ for 3x 4TB SSDs to bring your data backups off-site? Pretty good offering.
        And the immutability is a plus as well.
