title: amazon s3 vs google cloud storage
body: <p>We are gathering information about different systems. At the moment we are looking for a storage solution. We will have a high amount of outgoing traffic with large files.</p>
  
  <p>I want to compare s3 with google cloud storage.</p>
  
  <p>google cloud storage costs around $0.08/GB at 90TB. S3 is around $0.06. But google cloud storage has already a cdn, which makes it way cheaper than amazon s3 with cloudfront.</p>
  
  <p>Now I read somewhere that google cloud stroage is much slower than s3 with very large files. Is this true ?</p>
  
  <p>I can not find any information.</p>
  
  <p>What alternatives do I have if I have a high amount of outgoing traffic and large files ?</p>
  
  <p>Edit:</p>
  
  <p>benchmarks:</p>
