With the new service, when you apply for a transfer job "Snowball" storage is sent, first connect the local network and Snowball and copy the data. Once copying is completed, packing is unnecessary, and shipping the storage as it is OK. For this purpose weather-resistant dedicated storage was developed. The capacity is 50 TB, and the data is encrypted with 256 bits. Transfer is 10 Gb Ethernet. The weight of the storage itself is 50 pounds (about 23 kg), and it can withstand loads up to 6 G.
