A company uses NFS to store large video files on on-premises network attached storage. Each file ranges from 1 MB to 500 GB. The total storage is 70 TB and is no longer growing. The company must migrate the video files to Amazon S3 as soon as possible while using the least possible network bandwidth. Which solution meets these requirements?

Correct answer: Create an AWS Snowball Edge job. Receive a Snowball Edge device on premises. Use the Snowball Edge client to transfer data to the device. Return the device so that AWS can import the data into Amazon S3..
Why this is the answer
The correct solution is to use AWS Snowball Edge. For large datasets (70 TB) and the requirement to use the least possible network bandwidth, Snowball Edge is designed for offline data transfer, physically shipping the data to AWS. This significantly reduces network bandwidth usage and often accelerates migration compared to transferring over the internet.
