The cheapest cloud storage is $50/TB*month (storage only, additional cost for network bandwidth) by OVH and Hetzner. How can we offer more competitive prices?

Many HDDs with bad sectors but still working otherwise get disposed.

Is there a technical solution to use redundancy schemes like ECC or fault prediction algorithms to lower chance of irrecoverable data loss, so these drives can be used commercially until they stop working completely?
