If redundancy isn't needed you get 10TB for 47,48€ with 20TB free
traffic with the biggest hetzner storage box
The smaller boxes have a higher cost per GB but a way higher traffic ratio.

In the US it is even cheaper:

It can live with that as an archive host (and a NAS in another building;
internal, 1Gb bandwidth).

And we get a monthly bill. That is easier for me at a university than
with most cloud vendors -- until recently amazon needed a credit card
and I've no interest to pay a middleman.
Serverbidding (without setup costs, no minimum contract period) is also
more attractive for our workloads than most cloud instances as we keep
the hosts for at least a month and traffic is practically free.

I've yet to see a financially comparable offer by a cloud vendor.
For our use cases (NAS, on demand instances) Amazon is 3-4 times more
expensive as soon as traffic between them and our site comes into play.
Avoiding that would mean going cloud only -- no, thanks.
