I worked out that it's cheaper to write logs to high-end Samsung SSDs and then throw them away every month than to retain them in the log analytics systems of some cloud services for the same period of time.

Wait, no, sorry... that doesn't quite "paint the right picture".

The "single use" SSDs are 75 times cheaper than storing the data in the cloud.
