  - volume-quota (binding): 1 TB repository capacity, expandable in 1 TB increments [1]
- limits note: Paid: ~$1,285.14/month billed annually. DataONE Member and DataONE Plus tiers are free but provide no storage of your own - Member is for repositories you already run, Plus is a portal/FAIR-reporting layer ('upload any file format' refers to portal ingestion, not a byte grant).
- binding note: capacity is sold per repository in 1 TB increments at a fixed monthly price, so the bill rises with stored volume
- interface detail: rest
- tooling: Metacat + MetacatUI (open source, self-hostable); DataONE Member Node REST API for programmatic deposit and read.
- composes with: Per repository, so multiple repositories = multiple subscriptions at the same list price. Useful mainly as the market price for what the free programmes give away.
- reliability: All data and metadata are replicated to two geographically independent data centers in California and Tennessee.
