Google in the Hard Drive Business
Jump Start News – Most Internet surfers have traditionally believed that everything from Google on Google is free for individual users. This is not really true because Google sells hard disk space for $5 a year for one Gig.
Do you have extra cash lying around and you don’t know what to do with it? Send it to Google in exchange for extra disk space. For some time Google has been selling extra disk space for those who need it. In early November 2009, Google dropped the price to a mere $5 a year for 1 GB of cloud storage. Extra disk space on Google’s servers can be purchased to put all types of digital multimedia. Here is how Google explains this trend and provides a like for those interested in sending their free cash to Google:
While the cost of hard drive storage has continued to drop in these two years, we've also been working hard to improve our infrastructure to reduce your costs even further. Today we're dramatically lowering our prices to make extra storage even more affordable. You can now buy 20 GB for only $5 a year — that's twice as much storage for a quarter of the old price, and enough space for more than 10,000 full resolution pictures taken with a five megapixel camera. Since most people have less than 10 GB of photos, chances are you can now save all your memories online for a year for the cost of a triple mocha. If you need more than 20 GB, plans range all the way up to 16 TB, which is enough room for 8 million full resolution photos! And Google paid storage offers an extra level of security, protection and accessibility that you can't get with an external drive — at a similar cost per gigabyte.
As always, extra storage acts as an overflow that you only start using when you reach the limit of your free storage, and people who have extra storage will be automatically upgraded. So if you need more space for thousands of photos of your toddler, or if you're running out of room in your overflowing inbox, visit the following link to see all the plans and to buy more storage.
