Is OVHcloud's High Speed (per GB) the best deal?

Block Storage · $0.1/mo

Competitively priced

OVHcloud's High Speed Block Storage is competitively priced at $0.1/GB/mo with strong IOPS (3000), but several providers offer lower per-GB rates for object/cool storage tiers. However, OVHcloud's block storage is purpose-built for high-performance workloads, making direct cost comparison difficult; the real choice depends on whether you need block (VM-attached) or object storage semantics.

Blob Storage Cool tier

$0.01/mosave 90%

10x cheaper per GB/month ($0.01 vs $0.1) for infrequently accessed data with 99.99% SLA and LRS redundancy.

Caveat: Retrieval and early-deletion fees apply (30-day minimum); not a block device replacement, and outbound bandwidth above 100 GB/month is metered.

Cloud Storage Nearline

$0.01/mosave 90%

Matches Azure's $0.01/GB/month with 30-day minimum and $0.01/GB retrieval fee; 99.99% SLA and strong egress allowance (200 GiB/month free).

Caveat: Object storage only (not block); early-deletion penalties and per-GB retrieval charges; sustained-use discounts require careful tracking.

Object Storage Infrequent Access

$0.0102/mosave 89.8%

Nearly identical to Azure/GCP at $0.0102/GB/month storage plus $0.0102/GB retrieval; 99.95% SLA and minimum retention period enforced.

Caveat: Object storage only; retrieval fees and minimum retention period add real cost for frequent access patterns; slightly lower SLA than Azure/GCP.

Object Storage Standard One Zone

$0.01/mosave 90%

Matches the $0.01/GB/month tier with 75 GB free egress per month and single-zone simplicity; 99.9-99.99% SLA depending on tier.

Caveat: Object storage only; single availability zone (Paris region); Glacier restoration fees apply for cold tier; egress beyond 75 GB costs EUR 0.01/GB.

Block Storage (per GB)

$0.05/mosave 50%

True block storage alternative at $0.05/GB/month with NVMe SSD and up to 20,000 IOPS included; no separate IOPS surcharge.

Caveat: Windows/SQL licensing surcharges hidden until checkout; bandwidth overage at $0.01/GB past 5 TB allowance; billed by the minute, so powered-off servers may still accrue charges.

Before you switch

OVHcloud's $0.1/GB/mo is for block storage (VM-attached); most cheaper alternatives are object storage (S3-like), which have different retrieval semantics and early-deletion penalties.
If you need true block storage performance, Kamatera at $0.05/GB/mo with 20k IOPS is the closest competitor; verify IOPS requirements before switching.
Object storage tiers (Azure Cool, GCP Nearline, Oracle Infrequent) impose 30-90 day minimum retention and per-GB retrieval fees; calculate total cost including retrieval if your workload accesses data frequently.
OVHcloud's APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026; factor in egress costs if you are in India, Singapore, or Australia.
Verify whether you need redundancy (LRS vs GRS) and SLA targets; OVHcloud does not publish SLA in this spec, while Azure/GCP guarantee 99.99%.
