Hello Alexandru,

as you probably know, my group is using Amazon S3 to permanently (or 
sem-permanently) park the data
in CSV format, which makes it portable and we can load it into anything 
if needed, or analyze on its own.
Just my half of a Swiss centime :)

And, because the S3 option is not for everybody, and since you are at 
CERN, -- talk to data people in ATLAS.
350GB seems trivial.

Regards

Maxim
