Reply To: Similiar options and incorrect fact in one of the question

Dear Kenny,

Thanks for your query. However, #1 and #4 are not similar (first sentence). While #1 recommends to use AWS Snowball Edge Compute Optimized devices, #4 recommends to use AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized devices instead. In this scenario, due to the storage requirements, two Storage Optimized devices, which can store 80 TB each, meets the solution.

<font face=”inherit”>It is also not intended to mislead you because of two points: 1) AWS Snowball Edge devices work specifically with AWS SCT, and 2) the choice stated the AWS SCT’s Local and DMS task option to give acknowledgement that</font> the DMS subtask will move the data without needing to be too explicit and make the choice unnecessarily wordy.

The link below may help you with more details:

I hope this clarifies the situation.

Best, Joboy
