> This estimate is based on [these sample prices](blob-storage-estimate-costs.md#sample-prices). Sample prices shouldn't be used to calculate your production costs. To find official prices, see [Find the unit price for each meter](../common/storage-plan-manage-costs.md#find-the-unit-price-for-each-meter).

## Scenario
2121

22-
In this scenario you upload **2000** blobs to the archive access tier by using the `blob.core.windows.net` storage endpoint. Each blob is **10 GB** in size and is uploaded in **8 MiB** blocks.
22+
Your company has stored 20 TB of data in the archive tier for long term retention. However, after only 3 months in archive storage, 20% of that data must be retrieved for analysis. You've been asked to estimate what it will cost to get that data from archive storage and then download that data to clients for analysis. The account is located in the West US region, and is configured for locally-redundant storage (LRS), and hierarchical namespaces are not enabled.

24-
After **3** months, you must rehydrate **20%** of archived data for analysis. You choose to rehydrate data by setting the access tier of these blobs to the hot tier However, because that data is retrieved before 180 days, your assessed an early deletion fee.

## Cost factors

The account is located in the West US region, and is configured for locally-redundant storage (LRS), and hierarchical namespaces are not enabled.
26+
To analyze this data, you must first rehydrate data from the archive tier to the hot tier. You can accomplish this by changing the access tier of all blobs needed for analysis. Changing the tier from archive to hot is billed as a **read operation on the archive tier**.
27+
28+
Moving data out of archive storage also incurs a **data retrieval fee** and because that data is retrieved before 180 days, you'll also be assessed an **early deletion fee**.
29+
30+
Once data is moved into the hot tier, clients will need to read that data. Each blob read incurs a **read operation on the hot tier**. Aside from these cost components, rehydration time at standard priority can take up to 15 hours to complete.
