Thank you, interesting read. I came to a similar conclusion as you at the end of your article: it gets pricy real quick, so I opted for the self-hosted NAS and use hetzner storage for backup. I was surprised how easy it is to surpass the 100GB.

But besides hardware and maintenance cost, it costs roughly 5€/month for electricity.

Thank you and yes, NAS is my future choice. For now (since I also host my blog on that server) price is not that bad
