How to approach this question
Identify the bottleneck: large data (50TB) over a slow connection (50Mbps). Offline physical transfer is required.
Full Answer
AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized and AWS Snowcone.
Transferring 50 TB over a 50 Mbps connection would take over 3 months. The AWS Snow Family (Snowball Edge, Snowcone) provides physical devices that AWS ships to your location. You load the data locally and ship it back, bypassing the slow internet connection.
Common mistakes
Selecting DataSync, ignoring the math of the slow internet connection.
