Hello,
We are not cheap enough but i'd like to ask if you thought about a hosted NAS ?
Just get some backblaze B2
>
There will be, just be patient
https://youtu.be/Z-IYk7YVW80I considered cloud storage, but I'd rather be in full control of the storage. Also don't want to pay out for the year as I may not need this in 2 months time.
This is pretty much where I'm headed, tbh.
Did have a look, but as you say yearly billing is the problem, for the reasons mentioned above.
Not considered it really, they're not particularly common. Can't see any hosted NAS product on your site.
Not sure if trolling or serious?
The site seems to imply thats only for adding storage to an existing TransIP VPS - is that not the case?
The storage offers are in Utah by the looks of things - not what I want.
@nekki the ikoula hosted nas is under dedicated server, but only the 4tb plan at 22€ is comparable to your kimsufi, but still not cheaper. The sale price is good, but limited to 3 months. No idea if you have to contract for longer than that though then.

Thanks guy, wouldn't have thought of looking for them there.
Oh whoops you're right about Hostzoom storage being in Utah. I'd flagged that before, but then when I looked at that thread I saw Frankfurt at the top of the page w/o noticing it's for the non-storage offers.
I think TransIP's big storage is mountable ZFS. Don't know if you can encrypt it.
The SYS ARM server is only available at BHS right now: https://www.soyoustart.com/us/offers/arm-2t.xml
There are a few kimsufis available with 2TB, maybe more than you want to pay. Or same idea, slower and cheaper: http://digicube.fr/rapidserveurs/43
Let me know what else you find--I'm out of ideas.
The KS-2E turns up fairly often, and was my initial go-to, but given that I don't actually need a dedicated device I thought I'd ask around for options before pulling the trigger.
Did you actually mean 900TB?
@nekki My plex storage box is totaling 13TB a month on traffic for ~8TB of content - 500+Hrs of streaming per month
Fucking hell - I don't do anywhere near that volume. How many people are you sharing with?
A 72TB server at 400/month is 5.55/TB cost, I know there could be ways of lowering this but its a good ballpark to get some idea on the cost.
Too many leaches if you ask me. I dont know the number of users. Just that they watch a shit tonne of content.
I really don't need anywhere near that. 4-6TB would be plenty I think.
I'm very strict, if I spot someone an IP on the server I don't know, they get banned and so does the user who's account they were sharing.
Thats like the most basic amount of respect I expect from people I give free shit to. If somebody asks for access for a friend or the like Id likely give it, but simply sharing access is pretty shitty.
Have bout ~50 Active users.
You could have all your friends get servers in the DC and then just transfer over the internal network?
A Hetzner SX61 (4x 6TB drives) with no RAID is about $3.25/TiB/mo if my math is right, not bad at all. With just 4 drives cost per TB goes up with increasing RAID level. Only way around that is with a big machine, like SX291 = 15x 6TB drives at 250 euro/mo = $3.61/TiB/mo with 2 parity drives or $3.91 with 3 drives.
I'd just go on the server auction and get one of their 25 euro-ish i7 boxes with 2x 3TB drives. I've had one for over a year and it's great.
Considering the bandwidth is only 250mbps anyway, it has no issues reaching that on the network side of encryption using reasonable ciphers like 128 bit AES. Disk encryption might suffer depending on what kind you using though.
Just get a physical NAS lol
Are you sure about that? I had one of those servers and when I ran openssl benchmark for 128 bit AES it had throughput at around 40-50 Mbit/s
Dunno about that, but doing a real world transfer with rsync and aes128-gcm for the cipher I was getting around 150mbps on a transfer from across Europe.
@Nekki If you want dumber than dumb storage, there's always JBOD.
When will JBODoIP hit? (JBOD over IP). No redundancy of course, with individual pars running as either non-raided or raid-0/JBOD disks.
Are you doing like /r/plexshare or something?
I have 13TB of content on my 22TB colo'd server. I have <10 active users and I don't think it uses more than 1-2TB BW/m, roughly 200-300play hours a month.
Mine are all friends or friends of friends.
dumb storage.
Fine, I'll offer 2TB write-only storage on my /dev/null device.
